    Do you have any specifics on what got "freaked out?" by
    nessus? I.E. what in particular should one be concerned
    about? I would have to guess you are talking about running
    it in the mode *without* the "safe-checks" box checked.
    (I.E. only the banners are checked, and the actual exploit
    is not actually attempted.)

    Please enlighten me if I am astray.
