Howdi, I am having a very similar problem using both Nessus 3.2.1 Server and Client on a mac OSX 10.4 and 10.5 workstation. I'm trying to scan with ssh credentials and can actually log in on about 25% of OSX targets hosts. The accounts are created for "root" scanning only. The account credentials are identical. The error is the same as the failed results identified with RGEL. I'm open to any ideas to try Thanks Ron Backman Network Security Officer NAWCWD China Lake, CA _______________________________________________ Nessus mailing list [email protected] http://mail.nessus.org/mailman/listinfo/nessus
