how to test jus 1 plug-in

Hi-
    There are a couple of ways to go about this as far as I know.  
First, the reason your scan might be failing is because the plugin you 
are running relies on other plugins, and possibly the port scan for it 
to run.  So you may have to check enable dependencies and allow these 
checks to run before you can execute your plugin.  In the Nessus Network 
Auditing book there's a perl script that will list the dependencies the 
script you're looking at needs.

    A second option is to run the plugin on the command line using the 
"nasl" utility.

    If you send the name of the plugin you're trying to run I'm sure we 
could give you a more exact reason on why it's not working and possibly 
a solution.

Later,
