Hi,
I am trying to get Nessus to do a local scan on an unpatched Fedora Core 1 box to demonstrate Nessus.

My Nessus server is FC5, and I have the following plugins:


When I try using ssh keys, I get the following in my /var/log/secure file:
    Did not receive identification string from ....

When I try using a password, I get a
    Did not receive identification string from ....
    Accepted password for nessus from ...

*Both* of them report back to me with a:
    It was not possible to log into the remote host.  Nessus report the following error:
    [public key authentication failed | password authentication failed]

I have tried generating multiple sets of keys, I have tried multiple users with those multiple keys.  I am befuddled.

Thanks,

    - Tim Young
