Although nmap is not a hard requirement for OpenVAS, the scanner is able to leverage it and this can dramatically improve accuracy of the network exploration phase.Thanks for the suggestion. The Atom process resulted in nmap 5.51 being installed. Does OpenVAS require special configuration to use it?
Yes, you should enable nmap under "Post scanners" in your actual scan config. Be also sure to set your port list correctly although typical service ports should be within predefined config.
Please compare OpenVAS results with native nmap port scan like a simple "nmap <target>". Do this on the same machine to avoid differences by firewalls or other networking stuff.
