Hello!
Yesterday I used Nessus version 2.5.8 on Linux Fedora Core 5 to scan 23 Novell servers running NetWare 6 SP5. Of the 23 servers 11 abended and had to be rebooted. I am using NessusWX for an interface to the server and used the defaults for the scan, except that I dropped the number of host scanned to 10. One of the 11 servers had an app crash and the entire server stopped responding.
Is this pretty common for Novell servers, or did I just hit an unlucky combination and blow things up?
We had many troubles with scanning netware-servers, of course it depends which services are activated but in general we only do nmap not nessus-scans on our netware-server-"farm"
