I just scanned 2 AIX servers with nessus 3.0.4 and the latest plugins. The systems reported are with security holes, since plugin 14611 reports that the maintenance level of the AIX servers are 3, and the latest available is 4.

The report then states that a newer nessus is available. I then install 3.0.5 and get the latest plugins available, and the report now shows nothing about 14611.

Do I have to recreate all nessurc files I use in batch when upgrading nessus, or am I missing something?

No, you don't need to recreate them. Have you looked at the nessusd.messages logfile for the second scan to see whether aix_maintenance_level.nasl was actually run?

Btw, the description for the plugin was changed on April 6th (Revision 1.10). Is it possible you're looking for specific text from the old version of the plugin?
