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.


Do you know what crypto protocols are enabled on this host ?
Nessus 2.2.x/3.0.x only support Blowfish and SHA-1 while Nessus 3.1.x  
supports Blowfish,3-DES,AES 128-192-256 and SHA-1.


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.


It is not due to the ssh login code but to the SSH protocol version  
detection plugin (10881).
