Hello.

I'm new to openvas, and have recently just installed version 3.3.1 on a
Fedora 12 VM in our data center.  According to the openvas-check-setup,
everything is installed correctly and working fine.  (I had to install
NMAP 5.51 manually.)

Now, I've created a task to scan a target, and ran the task.  I have
nothing in the report.  I tried it against localhost.  Here's the
relevant log output:

[Wed Aug 22 19:51:35 2012][30524] user om starts a new scan. Target(s) :
localhost, with max_hosts = 20 and max_checks = 4
[Wed Aug 22 19:51:35 2012][30524] user om : testing 127.0.0.1
(::ffff:127.0.0.1) [30537]
[Wed Aug 22 19:51:35 2012][30537] user om : new KB will be saved
as /var/lib/openvas/users/om/kbs/127.0.0.1
[Wed Aug 22 19:51:36 2012][30537] user om : The remote host (127.0.0.1)
is dead
[Wed Aug 22 19:51:36 2012][30537] Finished testing 127.0.0.1. Time :
0.72 secs
[Wed Aug 22 19:51:36 2012][30524] user om : test complete
[Wed Aug 22 19:51:36 2012][30524] Total time to scan all hosts : 1
seconds

In addition, I did set this in the conf file:
  log_whole_attack = yes

Same results. I found a post in this list's archives indicating that I
should see what plugins ran during the scan, but I don't see that in the
log file.  I did set this also, and I do see all of the plugins being
loaded:
   log_plugins_name_at_load = yes

I also tried changing this line in the ping_host.nasl file:

 script_add_preference(name:"Mark unrechable Hosts as dead (not
scanning)", type:"checkbox", value:"no");

(which was set to "yes").  I did this because manually in the file
because I don't know how else to change preferences (I'm new!).


I did restart all services after changing the scripts and conf files.

I'm still having the same output in the log as above.  Nothing I do
seems to affect the outcome.

Please, any pointers would be very appreciated.  Thanks,

-David-
