VMware ESX host scan

Subject: VMware ESX host scan
Date: Thu, 23 Aug 2007 11:41:41 +0200
Hello

I have to check a VMware-ESX host.
This is a Red Hat based distro:
cat /etc/redhat-release
Red Hat Enterprise Linux ES release 3 (Taroon)
My issue is that I can log on this server via ssh from the scanner's 
host, but the nessusd
itself seems unable to log on it.

The /var/log/messages on the target tells :
Protocol major versions differ for a.b.c.d: SSH-2.0-OpenSSH_3.6.1p2 vs. S
SH-9.9-NessusSSH_1.0
a.b.c.d is the IP address of the nessusd host.

Apparently, the VMware host does check the ssh client and does not allow 
2 different clients
from the same host.

Did someone know about this?
Is this RedHat specific or is it added by the VMware ESX ?
