Two follow-ups to this:
1) Any plans to support SSHv1?
(or can I this be hack this in easily with unsupported botches? :-) )

2) The Nessus_credial_checks.pdf says, under "What else can go wrong with my
host checks?" ...
"On UNIX systems, administrators that move SSH to ports other than 22"

But it appears that (now) Nessus can login whatever the SSH port used, as
long at detects (scans) the port that SSH is running on - correct?

Hi,

When verifying ssh login credentials to a Redhat ES 4.0 system I am  
getting:


Unknown function 'aes_cbc_encrypt' (ssh_test.nasl, line 576)

Unknown function 'tripledes_cbc_decrypt' (ssh_test.nasl, line 598)

After running nasl -X -t ip.of.host. ssh_test.nasl

Turns out it is trying to log in using  blowfish-cbc encryption as it
doesn't recognise the others. Has something changed in ssh_func.inc?

These warnings are harmless and only occur when in command-line mode.  
Currently, Nessus 2.x and 3.0 only support blowfish-cbc encryption.  
In Nessus 3.1.x we've added support for AES and 3DES and we modified  
ssh_func.inc to account for that.

Given how the script is written, it still works well with Nessus 2.x  
and 3.0.x and in Nessus 3.1.x it has the ability to also negotiate  
AES and 3DES.
