Fwd: smb credentials
The target is a seperate machine , its a Windows 2003 server and the 3.0 was
being tested on a Windows Vista server.
The Linux 2.2.11 Nessus version is on CentOS 5.1.

I looked through nessus.messages and this is what I found.

against 192.X.X.X because the key SMB/transport is missing (this is not an
error)

[Fri Aug 15 01:38:58 2008][5369] user avenda : test complete

I am trying to find out why smb/login is missing since I already entered smb
username, smb_domain, and smb_password in preferences screen.

I am also trying to gather info on SMB/transport is missing error.

regards,
Sundar.
