Hi is there a simple command line check to see if Nessus can
successfully log-in to a Unix system over ssh. I know I can use an ssh

Try to simulate the connection from the nessusd host. For example, if
you'll be using '/home/test/nessus/ssh_key' as your private key /
identity to connect to the account 'nessus' on '192.1.1.44', you could run:
ssh -2 -i /home/test/nessus/ssh_key [EMAIL PROTECTED] id
and make sure that you see the output from 'id'. You also may want to
check that you can run whatever package management tool is used on the
remote to query packages (eg, "rpm -qa" with RedHat / FC).
