Right now -f is just an alias to the "proper" -Plugins options, and I
don't see any real reason to complete remove the -f flag (at least at
the moment). Previously, -findonly was its own bit of code which was
just annoying.
In any case, the emulation of -f via -P didn't intentionally or
unintentionally break reporting. Using the -Plugins flags like this...
-Plugins 'report_csv;report_html;report_text;report_xml;report_nbe;report_msf'
It will create the output file. I need to make some additional tweaks
to get the output too look the same as it currently does (since it
only looks for plugins @@NONE), but this shouldn't be too hard. I'll
add a ticket and get this fixed for 2.1.5. In the meantime, can
MacNikto use the string above to get the output (even though it looks
a bit different)?
