SSH Credentials

Hello All.

I'm having great success with the latest compliance scanning NASLs using
SSH credentials not protected by a passphrase, but no joy with those
credentials requiring one. Any idea what could be going wrong here?
I've tested the credentials manually, and they seem to work fine!!!

Cheers.

Take a look at:
http://mail.nessus.org/pipermail/nessus/2006-September/msg00188.html

Do you get the output from the 'id' command? You might also want to
increase the 'report_verbosity' to verbose and check the logs for any
error or diagnostic messages.

Which client are you using? Which server? And are your plugins up-to-date?
