Duplicated PLUGIN_PREFS

Hello,

I've noticed for a while that querying the preferences on the Nessus
server produces duplicated PLUGIN_PREFS. Is this a feature or a bug ?

Not a problem, just curious.


To duplicate: nessus -xPq <server> <port> <user> <pass> > prefs.txt


bash> sort prefs.txt | wc -l
275

bash> sort -u prefs.txt | wc -l
156


bash> grep -n built-in prefs.txt | cut 1-70
38:Ping the remote host[entry]:TCP ping destination port(s) : = built-
157:Ping the remote host[entry]:TCP ping destination port(s) : = built


bash> diff <(sed -n '38,156p' prefs.txt) <(sed -n '157,275p') prefs.txt
bash>




Thanks,

-Jason
