Hello, I have installed OpenVAS following the instructions at http://www.openvas.org/install-packages.html#openvas_debian_obs ("OpenVAS for Debian via OBS") precisely. Everything installed and seems to be running, yet I am seeing issues.
First, I can not connect to the Greenbone Security Assistant at all. gsad is running as follows: =======SNIP======= /usr/sbin/gsad --listen=127.0.0.1 --port=9392 --alisten=127.0.0.1 --aport=9393 --mlisten=127.0.0.1 --mport=9390 =======SNIP======= If I add the '--http-only' argument, I can connect to http://127.0.0.1:9392/, and it comes up with the login screen. When I try to log in, it just sits there with openvassd consuming over 80% of CPU at some points. After about 15 minutes, it will report 'Login failed'. This happens when I try to log in as the admin users created when setting up OpenVAS, or as a regular user created with openvas-adduser. Using gsd yields similar results. The relevant processes look like this: =======SNIP======= 2765 ? Ss 0:00 openvassd: waiting for incoming connections 2807 ? Rs 1:04 openvassd: serving 127.0.0.1 2864 pts/8 S 0:00 /usr/sbin/openvasmd --database=/var/lib/openvas/mgr/tasks.db --listen=127.0.0.1 --port=9390 --slisten=127.0.0.1 --sport=9391 2869 pts/8 S 0:00 /usr/sbin/openvasad --listen=127.0.0.1 --port=9393 --users-dir=/var/lib/openvas/users --scanner-config-file=/etc/openvas/openvassd.conf --sync-script=/usr/sbin/openvas-nvt-sync 2885 pts/8 Sl 0:00 /usr/sbin/gsad --listen=127.0.0.1 --port=9392 --alisten=127.0.0.1 --aport=9393 --mlisten=127.0.0.1 --mport=9390 --http-only =======SNIP======= In openvasmd.log and openvasad.log, I get the following message (with the timestamps a few seconds apart): =======SNIP======= lib auth:WARNING:2012-07-12 04h58.25 utc:2864: Authentication configuration could not be loaded. =======SNIP======= I tried the same thing in Arch Linux using the instructions provided by their community, and on Fedora 17, using the instructions at http://www.openvas.org/install-packages.html#openvas_fedora_atomic ("OpenVAS for Fedora via Atomic") - with the same results. On Backtrack 5 (which is based on an older version of Ubuntu), things work as advertised. Has anybody got OpenVAS to run on a recent Sid installation, or maybe on Arch Linux? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
