Sorry to interrupt you. First thank you for answer my question "Can't use auth 
by password in SSLv2". It's ok now.

Now, another question. :) 
I did every steps according to the article: Using Nessus to perform local 
security checks on top of SSH.htm. But it didn't work. 
The Nessusd running machine's IP is 192.168.1.6, the target's IP is 
192.168.1.8. 
First: in 192.168.1.6
su nessus
ssh-keygen -t dsa
It generated the pair keys: id_dsa and id_dsa.pub in directory /home/nessus/.ssh
Second: in 192.168.1.8
add a user named nessus, and set the nessus's password '*' use vipw. copy the 
id_dsa.pub from 192.168.1.6 to the 192.168.1.8 
directory:/home/nessus/.ssh/authorized_keys2. Indeed when I failed I tried 
other names like:authorized_keys and authorized_keys21
Last: set the ssh's setting like:
 username: nessus
 public key: /home/nessus/.ssh/id_dsa.pub
 private key: /home/nessus/.ssh/id_dsa. etc. in client nessus. 
When I scan 192.168.1.6, it seems work, I can see some information like: enable 
local security check in result. But to 192.168.1.8, it seems that the plugin 
ssh_get_info.nasl didn't work because I can't see any information in result 
about local security check.
I use command: 
ssh -l nessus 192.168.1.8
in 192.168.1.6. It will succeed login without need any password, seems the dsa 
public key is working.
So I'm confused. Could you be kind to give me more details about this? Any 
problems in my steps?
Any suggestions will be appreciated. Thanks.
The OS is Redhat 9, nessus version is 2.2.2a
