I seem to be getting some random alarms generated from this plugin. When running a pentest verifying the plugins actions against the server ‘debug’ and ‘wiz’ is not enabled. What seems to be the issue is at times the banner message can take some time to be sent

I've changed the plugin so it makes sure a banner is returned. This should avoid false-positives in cases like this. To ensure completeness of your tests, though, you may want to raise the timeout value Nessus uses for reads.
