That's ok, but if you're allowed to do so, please install Snort as well
it will allow you to spot/identify "unallowed" traffic so that even it the
nessus scan won't reveal vulnerabilities (h4x0rs often patch the
systems they use -after- installing a backdoor btw) you'll be able
to find (and fix) compromised machines
