Hi all, I'm just starting to play with openvas, and I'm a bit confused
by all the different components and how they fit together. These seem
pretty basic, but I looked through docs and didn't see anything like
an overview.

Basically, I'm trying to understand what the components are, how they
all fit together, and which ones I actually need.

>From what I've been able to figure out, openvas-libraries are the
shared libraries and openvas-scanner is the scanning daemon. 

I have not been able to tell if openvas-client is an optional tool to
display things, or if it's the required and only interface to use the
scanners. I think it's required, but before I go building it's large
set of dependencies, I'd love confirmation.

I can't really find mention of what openvas-manager or
openvas-administrator are.

Are there docs I should be reading? The compendium doesn't seem to
answer these questions.

thanks
seph
