That's not the way Nessus is design to work you have thousand of plug-in
each for specific use. Any it's not advisable to select all the plug-in
as it might kill some of your server by intense scanning ......

So request you to let me know if you know specific plug-in for the blank
telnet , FTP etc.... password.

I am sorry, but it is my understanding that nessus scans a server without
crashing it ( given you have SAFE CHECKS enabled ) and then determines which
plugins are appropriate to run against the given host. For example AIX or
CISCO plugins will not run against a microsoft based host.

you are welcome to search for a specific plugin on www.nessus.org/plugins
which is a very nice search facility for a given plugin by name in
description, for example a word 'telnet'

also, there is a facility to use NASL script language to write your own
checks for specific things like you are talking about. please post them on
this list once you do.
