I am having this same issue while running nessus 2.2.5 on SuSE 9.2 with the
native nessus client. I input identical credentials in the duplicate SMB
boxes on the Credentials Tab and the scanner continues to use alternative
credentials for Windows athentication(administrator). Has there been a
resolution or workaround?

Subject: Update on Nessus bug 1284

After doing extensive testing, I've found that the duplicate GTK entries in
the preferences tab (bug 1284) makes it so you cannot perform host-based
scans using credentials.
I've tried putting the username and password into the SMB fields and nessus
ignores these credentials. The scanned host's security logs show an account
called nessus<long string of numbers> attempts to login.
This bug was reported after an upgrade to 2.2.5, but I have reproduced the
same behavior on a clean install of SuSE Linux 9, so it doesn't appear to be
upgrade related. However, my Nessuswx client was the same.
Is there any data that is held on the client that would cause the
duplicates? I really need to get the host scans working again. We're in the
middle of a POC of Nessus.
Thanks.
