Checking credentials~

Subject: Checking credentials~
Date: Tue, 15 Apr 2008 12:50:38 -1000

Hi,
 
I used plugin 21745 to check the remote login credential and I got the 
following result. When I entered the correct username and password in Nessus, I 
got the output statement "The local checks failed because Unsupported Linux 
distribution" and it still failed to log into the host. What does the output 
about? Does it mean that the scanning would be failed if I use plugins that 
needs credentials?
 
P.S.: I am using Nessus 3.0.6.1 in Win XP and I can log into the remote host 
via SSH with the username and password that I've mentioned above.
 
Thanks a lot~
 
Kevin
