Hi George, Thanks but I am not using keys, I am using the password option to login. I was hoping there was a nessus command line I could use to fire up the relevant nasl script and check to see if it worked for the ssh_login part.

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).
