Hello

>From the nessus machine, I can log to a RH server :

[EMAIL PROTECTED] ssh -2 -i .ssh/ident_rsa [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Warning: No xauth data; using fake authentication data for X11 forwarding.
/usr/bin/X11/xauth:  timeout in locking authority file 
/tools_1/users/user1/.Xauthority

Welcome on target1
Value of TERM has been set to "vt100"
.....

but , using the same key and account, Nessusd was unable to log on the 
same machine and perform the local security tests.

Using the same configuration, Nessusd  successfully logged-in on another 
machine.
The differrence is that the loggin time was rather long on target1 due to 
the "X11" forwarding time-out

Is it possible to log-in without the X11 forwarding ( -x option of ssh ) 
from Nessusd ?
Is it possible to set a looooong time out ( ~20sec )  for the ssh log-in 
plugin ?


Thanks
