Just as caution I have taken down a few of our mainframe apps using
nessus (using safe plug-ins) I can't tell you exactly what was going on
becasuse were working our issue, but is possible with the configuration.
My suggestion would be t watch the process and network traffic on the
mainframe while your doing your scan to make sure you don't take it down
and that it is stable during the scan.

Has anyone scan an IBM Z Series Mainframe running release z/OS 01.07.01,
utilizes a ADABAS v7.4.4 (DBMS)?  Are there in special precautions I
should be concerns about, or Plugins I should not use?  I'm running
Nessus 3.0 on a Red Hat server.
