Sending plugin messages to the client...

Since the initial proposal to create a server-side database backend,
made a couple of weeks ago has seemed to have died, I've decided
to integrate it into the nessusd code myself.

The problem is that I can't seem to find where the vulnerability
messages generated by the plugins and scanners are sent to the
client...

As far as I can tell, they may be spawned from the check_threads_input
method in nessusd/utils.c.  Can anyone confirm this?
Does this input come from the knowledge base?

What I am looking for is a place in the code where I can find the
plugins that found a security note/hole/warning.

Also, I need to do a similar thing with the open ports.
If anyone knows where I can get the open ports and their
associated vulnerabilites on the server-side, your assistance
is appreciated.

Thanks.
