Re: Plugin download problem

I've sent a couple of replies to Renaud directly.  This is the last one:

"I just did some more looking and realized I had missed something obvious.
The updateplugins.pl runs the nessus-update-plugins and then pulls the
information into the inprotect mysql database.

Seeing that, I started my local nessus client and went to the plugins tab.
I then filtered for 10585 and got two plugins.  The one that should be
10585, and the one that should be 10595.

It seems like the info it is getting from your site has the mistake in it,
though I do not have the experience in programming to track this down for
certain."

Having sent that, I just dug some more and found that in the plugin file for
DNS AXFR, the plugin ID is 10595 as it should be.  So now I am even more
lost than I was when I started.

One other thing to mention, is that Inprotect and Nessus were installed and
working fine on Friday and Monday.  This morning, I looked at the Inprotect
site and saw that there were 1800+ plugins, and we only had 1712, so I tried
to manually update the plugins at the command prompt:

$ perl /usr/local/bin/updateplugins.pl

At that point, I started getting the error message I first posted on the
Inprotect forum:

ERROR 1062 at line 1081: Duplicate entry '10585' for key 1

That is occurring as the updateplugins.pl is trying to add the data from the
temp file plugins.sql into the inprotect database.  So, at that point, the
download of data from nessus.org is done.

What I am not able to figure out, due to lack of programming knowledge, is
what is happening between the download and the creation of that temp .sql
file.
