    No - Nessus.org is the only distribution point for both the
    community-submitted plugins, as well the the proprietary plugins we
    write at Tenable. Users wishing to submit a plugin should send it to
    plugins-writers@list.nessus.org (which is a public mailing list) or
    plugins@nessus.org (the plugin is reviewed and QA'ed privately and
    published in a timely manner).

    > Are all of the items on CVS included when doing an automated plugin update?

    Yes. The anonymous CVS repository contains all the plugins, although
    there is a 7 days delay between the day proprietary plugins are written
    and the time they are available to the general public. Feel free to read
    the Nessus plugins FAQ at <http://www.nessus.org/plugins/?view=faq> or
    to email me directly if you have any question.
