Hi there

We have a home-written NASL. It was written, successfully tested using 
"nasl -t ...." and then nessusd was restarted. A scan was run and the 
NASL successfully ran.

Yesterday, I made some big changes in it, tested it successfully using 
"nasl -t..." and then restarted nessusd. A scan was run, and the output 
of this rule was in the style of the OLD version of the script - not the 
current!

Hmmmm, so I did a "nessusd -R" , restarted - and no change. Similarly 
with a "killall -HUP nessusd" - still the old results show up.

I finally renamed the file, changed the script_id number and ran it 
again - and still the old result shows up!

Any ideas? Obviously something has got cached somewhere - but I can't 
figure out how the changed script_id didn't get noticed. This is with 
nessus-3.2.1 under CentOS4
