Disabling Password Guessing attempts with Nessus

Hello everyone,

Tenable's research group has added a new plugin preference which can
control many of the plugins which try simple user/password combinations.

With this new setting, you can disable these checks which attempt to log
in via SSH or SMB.

Of course if you turn these checks off, you will miss basic user/pass
issues, but you won't have login failures occurring which may cause a
'lock out'.
