Scan with credentials

I normally don't use Nessus for host based scans but have some SUN boxes I want to try it on. The boxes are config'd so you can't log in as root remotely.

If using SSH, what level of access is required to ensure all the admin level plugins work correctly?

Also, during some testing it appears Nessus is flagging missing patches on services that have been disabled. Is there any way, other than the port being open, to tell from the report if the services are actually in use?

Many thanks to all.
