So are you trying scan Mac's from Spiceworks and having some trouble, this post will help you.
To scan Mac's their are some things you need to change on both Spiceworks and the Mac's them self’s.
12 Steps total
Step 1: Part 1
This part you will configure the Mac to be able to be scanned by Spiceworks
Step 2: Open Internet and network sharing
# Click the Apple icon in the top right (or left depending on your setup)
# Go to System preferences
# Internet and network sharing
Step 3: Remote login
You should see something for 'Remote login'
open that.
Make sure that your computer name is alpha-numeric and does not have any special characters or spaces.
Step 4: Check the names match up
Go back to System preferences then network:
Be sure that both your AirPort (if applicable) and Ethernet have the WINS (under Advanced) NetBios name show the same as the computer name.
Step 5: Apply the settings
Step 6: Setup a Spiceworks Login
Most Mac's in my experience arn't on a domain, so setup a new user for Spiceworks and check you can login.
Remember these details you will need them soon.
Step 7: Part 2
Time to setup Spiceworks
Step 8: Goto Network Accounts for Scanning
# Open Spiceworks
# Go to Settings
# Network Scan
You should see a section called 'Network Accounts for Scanning'.
Step 9: Add a new SSH account
Add a SSH account, if you have a account the same on every Mac then its easier if not you will need to add each Mac's login details.

Step 10: Add a new scan range
Ip Scanner With Mac Address
At the top of that page you should see the option to add a scan range.
Enter the range and on the SSH dropdown pick the username for the Mac devices.
Step 11: Enable Scanning for Linux Software
On the network scan page, goto Additional Settings (at the bottom) then set Skip Linux Software to false.
Step 12: Scan
You should now be able to scan your network fully :-)

Thanks Andy - handy if we ever get any Apple Mac's on our network. To be honest I read this thinking I'd missed a trick at layer 2... ;)

Andy, what would we do without you :)
Thanks

Top man excellent info (as always)
I'm a Mac man now as the new CEO only wanted a Mac and not any of the Windows machines we usually use here!
Still - It's a learning curve... :) - Cayennesundrift Aug 10, 2010 at 06:21pm
Nice information...

Ok! we have just two macs at the office, but i will test it tomorrow, of course.
- JalapenoDS13X Oct 13, 2010 at 12:12pm
Cool. What if you've added the mac to you active directory domain. Can you use a windows domain account to scan or do you have to user SSH?
- AnaheimDr. Karl Jun 12, 2011 at 04:35pm
This worked -- outstanding step-by-step, thank you. One question on wording in Step 11. Was this:
On the network scan page, goto Additional Settings (at the bottom) then set Skip Linux Software to false.
Supposed to be:
....then set Scan Linux Software to true.' ?
- JalapenoDL@bntly Aug 18, 2011 at 04:50pm
Very helpful, thank you.

Sorry does not work on my iMac Snow leopard 10.6.8 The SSH server refuses to speak to my Mac machine I know the SSH is work because I tried to talk to it via the cmd line. I read in another Spicework article and it was saying spiceworks supports sshv2 and not sshv1. See below:
'Spiceworks uses the SSH2 client, so it cannot connect to SSH servers that only understand the SSH1 protocol. This problem tends to show up when the correct login/password is used, but the test login still fails.'

Doesn't work for mine. Has there been any follow up to this? Would be helpful since I'm trying to integrate SW to handle the load of network monitoring. Unfortunately this doesn't seem to be going to well.

Whoa, this is useful. Thanks!

I recommend using Centrify to AD connect your Macs - makes scanning with SpiceWorks at lot simpler.
