Hello Shawn,

Local checks are working in general. As Tim mentioned, OpenSSH is being
looked at to make it better. Please see my inline comments,

Please verify your credentials by manually performing ssh from the OpenVAS
host to the target.

Check the logs to see if gather-package-list.nasl is getting launched. Also
make sure that ssh_get_info.nasl is not there in your Plugins set. 

Monitor the KB items that are getting set under,

/usr/local/var/lib/openvas/users/OPENVAS_USER/kbs/HOST_NAME (/usr/local
varies according to the installation)

Specifically, check "Secret/SSH/login" and "Secret/SSH/password". I suspect
these KB items are not getting set. Also, you could try with
"silent_dependencies = no" for getting more information.


Thanks,
Chandra.
