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
