does anyone have the minimum set of permissions needed to run an
authenticated scan with safe checks enabled on windows machines? I know
there is a lot of registry reading, but I'm guessing not writing. My desire
is is to make a user that can complete a scan, but will pose minimal other
risks.

on unix, it doesn't appear possible to limit the command set much, as most
of it appears to be running through /bin/sh (run a sudo scan and check your
logs)
