Initial Comment:
Dear maintainers,

I found a little bug, which can be easily fixed.


Bug:
openvas-client says, it cannot find nikto, even if nikto is installed. 

Reason:

openvas is looking at "/usr/bin/nikto.pl" but the correct name of the installed 
system is "/usr/bin/nikto"

As I am only using a debian system, maybe on other systems it may work. 


Solution:
My suggestion: let openvas look at both, nikto.pl and nikto, so it will always 
work. 

Workaround:
Just create a symlink:  ln -s /usr/bin/nikto /usr/bin/nikto.pl

Thats it! 

Cheers

Hans
