hi renaud,

would you have any pointers on how to verify whether or not nessusd
accepted everything in my PREFERENCES message?  i'm wanting to catch the
case where i send mistakes to nessusd ... typos, perhaps.

i figure i can put a sniffer on the wire and watch what nessusd does, when 
i launch an attack ... correlate what i see with what i thought i asked 
nessusd to do.  time-consuming, but doable.

is that the best way to go or can you think of an easier way?

No.

Yes, it's expected. It's always empty.
