Linux server scan issue

[AdmJLovejoy]

Once a Linux server has been scanned the Asset Type keeps getting flipped to Unix. I can edit the asset and re-scan, and they keep getting flipped back to Unix. Please advise.

If I understand correctly, your machine was automatically detected as Unix and you manually changed the asset type to Linux, but the change was lost upon rescanning. If this is the case, could you ensure that the "lock against scanning" checkbox next to the asset type is ticked under Edit Asset. (Ordinarily, it is ticked by default when you make changes to the field.) Ticking this box ensures that your manual changes are not overwritten. Don't forget to hit Save Asset when you're done editing.
