Stefan Your suggestion clears the problem with ability to log on to GSA. So i manage to start the entire product set with the following sequence: from terminal, as root
/etc/init.d/openvas-scanner start openvasmd --database=/var/lib/openvas/mgr/tasks.db --listen=127.0.0.1 --port=9391 --slisten=127.0.0.1 --sport=9390 openvasad --listen=127.0.0.1 --port=9392 --users-dir=/var/lib/openvas/users --scanner-config-file=/etc/openvas/openvassd.conf --sync-script=/usr/sbin/openvas-nvt-sync gsad --http-only --listen=127.0.0.1 --port=9393 --alisten=127.0.0.1 --aport=9392 --mlisten=127.0.0.1 --mport=9391 The initial issue of proper daemon starting through /etc/init.d is beyond me. It seems as if the start-stop-daemon control cannot successfully start the openvasmd, openvasad and gsad on Ubuntu 10.04 At first glance, with manual starting as above it is all working, but i found two new issues: 1. Tried a couple of scans through GSA, and didn't manage to get any vulnerabilities, although the client-scanner combo on the same machine scanned the same target and found vulnerabilities. I will need to investigate this further 2. At random intervals, something seems to fail, since without warning GSA starts to require a password on an already authenticated session, and i need to stop openvasad, openvasmd and gsad and restart them to remedy this. There is nothing in the logs. I noticed the same issue on the official OpenVAS virtual machine distro, although there at least the scanning works through GSA.
