Re: Nessus against Novell file servers.

["Davi Ottenheimer" <DaviO () westmarine com>]

Yes, at least two abends are documented that are caused by Nessus scans. Check that your Novell servers have been 
patched:

Hello everybody,
I was doing a vulnerability assessment on a production using Nessus(Only non-dangerous plugins were enabled) and some 
of the Novell file servers went down. I was forced to stop the test. 

Have anyone experienced the Novell problem with Nessus? What can do to stop crashing these servers?  

Thanks in advance 

John
