The client gets values for options from the NTP PREFERENCES message sent
by the server at logon.  [nessus-core/doc/ntp/plugin_prefs.txt has
details.] As far as I know, there's no way to recover them completely
using the nessus client from the commandline, although with some
gyrations, though, you could use openssl's s_client to do this.
