Back in 2009 when nmap 5.0 was released, an OpenVAS dev, Tim Brown, posted to Slashdot, "It's worth noting that we at OpenVAS like the nmap developments so much that a couple of the OpenVAS developers are looking to actively contribute and we're considering libnmap as a replacement for the rather fragile port / service discovery functionality we inherited."
http://tech.slashdot.org/story/09/07/16/1924232/Nmap-500-Released-With-Many-Improvements Where did things go from there? Are there still two different port/service discovery mechanisms - the inherited one plus nmap (if configured for it)? In the lack of any port/service discovery in my OpenVAS 5 installs first off a failure of the "rather fragile" mechanism, and then secondarily a need to change the default configs to have nmap invoked at all? Also, is what GSA shows in the config as "nmap rcp port scans" um, "nmap port scans" in general, or is that to do with scanning for rcp service on port 514?
