Hi john



i found the same problem when i was scanning with another vul scanner.

when i checked it i saw that one of the ftp modules made the crash.



so test if this is your case if yes disable the ftp module.

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
