Get server plugin options

[Brennon Williams]

Yeah
 I attached a TEXT file to the email, which gave all the options and
the plugin preferences
 (see original mess below)

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.

Is it the size that offends you?
Is it the fact that I sent a text file?
What?

Please tell me of your list etiquette.

Funny that when you are just trying to help, just trying to give a little
back for all that you have received, that this is the sort of response one
receives
 Are you sane?

I unreservedly apologize to all that such actions offended.

Will I try to help again
 probably not


Good luck to all.
