Gents, We successfully removed W32.Sasser.Worm.nasl and performed an nvt sync and restart with no output related to non-functioning plugins.
I did however note that the restart I issued immediately following the updates failed initially with an ERROR; I went and immediately checked the messages and dump files located in /var/log/openvas only to discover that when I tried again a few minutes later, it started fine. (initial output below) We are assuming that the process had not actually stopped when the initial 'stop' was executed. There might be a little more that can be done around ensuring that the processes have exited prior to stop. cheers, Ian On Fri, 2009-10-02 at 09:20 +0200, [email protected] wrote: > "W32.Sasser.Worm.nasl" is superseded by "smb_virii.nasl" and was > invalidated > for that reason (there is no way anymore to execute it). > You can savely remove it from your plugin directory and the message > should be > gone. > > I think it is not shipped with the NVT Feed anymore, but the script to > sync > with the feed can only update scripts (in contrast to deleting them). senali:/var/openvas/plugins# rm W32.Sasser.Worm.nasl* senali:/var/openvas/plugins# openvas-nvt-sync OpenVAS NVT Sync $ Configured NVT Feed: rsync://rsync.openvas.org:/nvt-feed Synchronized into: /var/openvas/plugins Searching for required system tools ...
