No problem cissper. It was a good question, something I hadn't even
thought about. So, it goes to show that there's always someone else out
there that has the same questions as you. If you haven't already, I
recommend that you join the Nessus ListServ (there is a link on Nessus'
web site, www.nessus.org). It's a very busy ListServ, as you can
imagine, so if you aren't fond of getting a lot of e-mails, then you may
wish to abstain. I have all messages from that ListServ forwarded to a
folder, where I can view them when I have time. A lot of them, I don't
read, but I have an archive of topics in case I ever need some answers.
Also, the owner of Nessus, Renaud Deraison, is VERY responsive to
questions posed by ListServ members. Good Luck!

Dear all
I thank you all for your responses and valuable help!!!
To quickly summarise the conclusion:
A HTML report generated by the nessus Windows client does not provide
the nessusID for an identified vulnerability. A report generated on the
Linux GUI does link a vulnerability to the nessus plug-in.
So we just found another good reason for using Linux :-)
Kind regards
cissper
