Nessusd version: 3.2.1 [build A919] for Linux Nessus client: v3.0.1 (build 2G172-Q) Problem: I run scans of about 80 devices on a monthly basis. This month, for many machines Nessus is reporting more than one OS, specifically it is reporting the correct OS and then also reporting the identified OS as HP-UX 9.0.5. This generates a "critical" error as HP-UX 9.0.5 is no longer a supported OS. My question is why is Nessus identifying more than one OS and why specifically is it reporting HP-UX 9.0.5? For instance: it correctly identifies a Cisco 11.3 OS for a router, then identifies it as HP-UX 9.0.5. I've seen it do this for the following: Most Cisco routers and switches, AIX 5.2, Checkpoint firewalls In my "general" scan, I use most plugins (but not DOS). Any ideas? _______________________________________________ Nessus mailing list [email protected] http://mail.nessus.org/mailman/listinfo/nessus
