RE: nessus which plug'in reports which vulnerability?

Dear all

I thank you all for your responses and valuable help!!!

To quickly summarise the conclusion:

A HTML report generated by the nessus Windows client does not provide
the nessusID for an identified vulnerability. A report generated on the
Linux GUI does link a vulnerability to the nessus plug-in.

So we just found another good reason for using Linux :-)

Kind regards
cissper
