I'd suggest that rather than removing it, changing the answer to something like: "You are running an old version of OpenVAS with various licensing and technical issues relating to legacy code. Please upgrade to OpenVAS 3.x which does not have this issue." There are people who are still running OpenVAS 1.x without knowing it as parts of older Linux distributions and older virtual applications; so they'll still see these problems (as well as 2.x users) and this is a straight-forward answer and will get them off of those older platforms. -geoff --------------------------------- Geoff Galitz Blankenheim NRW, Germany http://www.galitz.org/ http://german-way.com/blog/ _______________________________________________ Openvas-discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.wald.intevation.org/mailman/listinfo/openvas-discuss
