I have had this issue with retina. I have this issue only with older
versions of Novell. I have had no problems running against Novell 6.5. I
have also found that retina with its most unintrusive settings will still
knock a Cisco switch or router off if it is running an old version of the
IOS.

Subject: Nessus against Novell file servers.
Importance: Low

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
