Hi,

I have tried finding helpful solutions to this, but mostly I could just find
this from 2004 (pretty old):
http://list.nessus.org/pipermail/nessus/2004-May/009189.html

Looks like they have just my problem.

I am a Northwestern University student running Redhat Fedora on my computers
and have been running Fedora for almost two years.  I've never had any
problems with our campus network, but recently after upgrading to Fedora 7,
which includes samba 3.0.25, I continually get quarantined on our ResNet
because of the 12909 plugin to Nessus, claiming that my Linux machine needs
Windows updates to SMB.

As far as I can tell, I am since running 3.0.25c and the problem still
exists.  I simply have to turn off SMB and tell Northwestern's ResNet to
rescan me and I am good to go for another week or so.  Understandably, I am
getting tired of this and NU's IT is unwilling to help out or do the work in
fixing the solution, so here I am myself.  I would file a bug report for
this, but since I don't know the version of Northwestern's Nessus and
without access to their servers, I'm starting here on the listserv instead.

Any thoughts anyone?
