RE: Nessus against Novell file servers.

[john thomas <mjohn2000_99 () yahoo com>]

It was part of an audit, so i do not have direct
access to these servers. From Nessus report, the
version was Novell NetWare 5.70.02.(Nessus also
reported "The remote Operating System is : NetWare
6.5" little confusing, I am trying to get it clear
from administrators)

Another post, Davi pointed out that there are two
known problems. 

Thanks everybody
