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.
