So if I have a standard admin user and password for each workstation on my Novell network I can put those in the SMB settings and it will still run the checks on those workstations? I am mainly wanting to scan the workstations on the Novell network and wanted a more thorough check that is done like when you put in the SMB settings on a Windows based network. So if I get what you said if I put in a standard admin username/password that I have for my Novell workstations in the SMB settings portioin of the configuration file then it will still run those checks?

No SMB will not give you access to a Novell network. Although if you have a
standard admin user and password on each workstation; Nessus will run the
checks on those workstations with that user/pass. If you're concerned about
the vulnerabilities on the Novell server, I have run many vulnerability
scans against production Novell 4, 5, 6 servers without being logged into
the Novell network and found that the results were more precise when I
enabled DoS and disabled safe checks.

Subject: SMB Access on Novell Networks
I am doing scans against Windows machines on a Novell based network.� I was
wondering if I put in SMB login/password information into the nessus
configuration file if it would login to the machines correctly on the Novell
network.� I have done this on Windows based networks fine and it logs in and
does the additional checks.� Will this work on a Novell network or is SMB
not supported on Novell networks?� I have tried researching this on the
internet and haven't found much useful information on whether SMB is
supported or not on Novell networks.
