I see that this topic has been covered numerous times. Even so, I'm still a little unclear so I'm hoping you chaps can help me sort it all out. I want to make sure I understand how to incorporate Nikto with Nessus. As I understand it, all that's needed is to have Nikto installed and the nikto.pl file must be in path for nessusd. Is that correct, or am I off base here?

Yes, that's the basic idea. You do, though, need to configure the plugin, especially the option that says "Enable Nikto".
