SSH credentials check problem

[Jean Paul Kölbl <koelbl_at_it-secure.com>]

Hi,

 

having a problem to use the local security checks feature:

 

the plugin 21745 reports always "it was not possible to log into the remote host via ssh"

 

if I then have a look at messages I find "Protocol major versions differ for (ip-adress): SSH-2.0-OpenSSH_4.1 vs. SSH-9.9-NessusSSH_1.0"

 

The deamon on the host is configured to only accept Version 2 protocols of SSH in sshd.conf. I can also read in the Document "Nessus Credential Checks for UNIX and Windows" from the nessus-homepage that all host-based checks performed by nessus are done using a SSH version 2 Session.

 

Can anyone enlighten me? Is it possible to force nessus v3 to use ssh v2?

 

kind regards
