I left something out of my point, in these above cases the users may still be using an older set of plugins that have not been updated as part of these OpenVAS 1.x and 2.x packages, simply because they are a new user to OpenVAS relying on their Linux distros and integrated applications. They are unaware of the need to sync their plugins. The new FAQ answer would reflect that. So here is a question... do all of the new plugins still work in the older OpenVAS versions all the way back to 1.x? -geoff _______________________________________________ Openvas-discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.wald.intevation.org/mailman/listinfo/openvas-discuss
