Null Session in Linux

[Josh Sekel]

Hello all,

I'm kinda new to the Nessus crowd so please forgive if answered before.

I am getting the following 2 positives which I'm not sure about.

. It was possible to log into the remote host using a NULL session.
The concept of a NULL session is to provide a null username and
a null password, which grants the user the 'guest' access

The following shares can be accessed using a NULL session :

- IPC$ - (readable?, writeable?)

Why is my Linux box returning windows issuses? I am running Samba but I didn't think it would cause this. Is it maybe because I am authentication off of an Active directory server and the RA setting is not correct there? The AD box is not under my administration so it could very well be wrong.
