nessus-update-plugins problem

[Halverson, Chris]

I am not sure of the proper way to replay to a list post, but here we
go.

I made the change so that fetch_args="-q -o -"

Here is my new error.

This isn't right.  The args used with wget should be "-q -o -".  To fix
this, edit nessus-update-plugins and define fetch_args as "-q -o -". 

Is that the way the script was distributed originally?
