compliance checks

Hello to all,

how can I understand the following sentences from the "advanced user guid=
e" for Nessus 3:

"In Nessus 3, you simply create a template file denoting which items (fro=
m the regulations or policies) you wish to check for. Nessus then automat=
ically creates a list of relevant modules which it runs sequentially, giv=
ing a compliance report when the scan is complete."

I think it would be a good feature, if you can define something like:

password policy, max. password age: 80

in a config-file and then Nessus automatically looks for the relevant plu=
gin(s) and maps the scanned results to the pre-defined data in the config=
-file in the report.=20

Did I understand that right? Do you know what is meant by the sentences a=
bove and where I can find this feature?

Thanx, Maze.
--=20
