[ale] Nessus3 Question

ALErs -

I just set up Nessus3 on my Suse-10.x box and have a question on scan 
setups. By default the daemon seems to enable only "Safe Scans" that have 
minimal chance of really disabling the target system. I need to hammer my 
target and figure out what will break it.

I defined a new scan and (so far as I know) it has every type of scan
checked "ON", but I think I'm still in "Safe Scanning" mode.

How can I activate Nessus' potentially disabling scans? 

TIA.
