Hi John,

I have noticed Nessus to detect ports open to later report them as being 
closed, but not to the point that crashes the server itself.

I believe it may have to do with the service running at: 40193/tcp (Novell 
Netware IP).  Sending random packets to this port may cause the server to crash 
according to information available ala Google.

Hello everybody,
I was doing a vulnerability assessment on a production using Nessus(Only 
non-dangerous plugins were enabled) and some of the Novell file servers went 
down. I was forced to stop the test. 

Have anyone experienced the Novell problem with Nessus? What can do to stop 
crashing these servers?  

Thanks in advance 

John
