ensuring plugins download

[Eric van Straten <icvanstra@yahoo.com>]

Hello,

two questions really...

1) where is the best place to find a FAQ or newbie area?  Since I'm fairly new to Nessus I would like to look there before asking the list...

actual question:
2) From the documentation the Plugins should be updating themselves every 24 hours but how do I verify that it's running and/or actually updating?

What is making me question this is:
A) in the nessusd.messages it shows every day performing/completing the update
B) the file plugin_feed_info.inc does not appear to be updating

I saw in the nessusd.messages that the update of plugins had completed but the *.inc file was not 'current' so I ran the command line utility to update the plugins ... which in turn updated the date/timestamp within the plug*.inc file.

Am I worrying about something that has been deprecated?

Thanks,
eric
