As I think about this some more, I'm not sure this will work -- nessusd
creates a cache of each plugins description when it reads them and stores
the cache in the subdirectory ".desc" under the plugins directory. The code
doesn't do any locking when it does this, will probably lead to problems
as various instances of nessusd try to write and read those files.
