Hello,

In accordance with the OpenVAS Change Request #53 (see
http://www.openvas.org/openvas-cr-53.html for details), I have removed
support for the use of so called shared sockets for SSH connections
during Local Security Checks (LSCs).

The main effects you may observe include a much faster scan speed when
doing LSCs via SSH and more stable LSCs. Side effects may include a
slightly increased load on the target due to the now concurrent LSCs.

The updated script will be included in the next update of the OpenVAS
NVT Feed, which will most likely happen later today.

I'd like to ask all of you to pay close attention to you LSCs via SSH
after your next synchronization with the OpenVAS NVT Feed. Please report
any observations, positive or negative.

As always, if there are any questions or suggestions, feel free to let
me know.

Regards,

Michael
