Are there any sources for Nessus Plugins that should be frequently looked at other than CVS?
No - Nessus.org is the only distribution point for both the community-submitted plugins, as well the the proprietary plugins we write at Tenable. Users wishing to submit a plugin should send it to plugins-writers () list nessus org (which is a public mailing list) or plugins () nessus org (the plugin is reviewed and QA'ed privately and published in a timely manner).
Are all of the items on CVS included when doing an automated plugin update?
Yes. The anonymous CVS repository contains all the plugins, although there is a 7 days delay between the day proprietary plugins are written and the time they are available to the general public. Feel free to read the Nessus plugins FAQ at <http://www.nessus.org/plugins/?view=faq> or to email me directly if you have any question. -- Renaud -- Renaud Deraison http://www.nessus.org
