Hi felix, I did exactly what you said. First, i tried running openvas client with default openvassd.conf file but with same result.
Second, I run openvasclient GUI, took the .openvasrc file that was generated by the client in the user's home folder & used the same file with 'quite' mode. but did not help. I also tried "auto_enable_new_plugins = no" thanks shehzad On Thu, Mar 11, 2010 at 12:26 PM, Felix Wolfsteller <[email protected]> wrote: > Hi Shehzad > > I think stripping down the openvassd.conf that much is a bad idea. > Values from openvasrc will overwrite values from openvassd.conf, but for some > it is not allowed (e.g. logfile).
