Hello,

I'm new using openvas and I've made an installation in the following machine:

SO: CentOS release 6.2 (Final)
CPU: Intel(R) Xeon(TM) CPU 3.40GHz
Num cores: 4
RAM MEM: 7788MB

# rpm -qa | grep openvas
openvas-libraries-5.0.4-5.el6.art.x86_64
openvas-scanner-3.3.1-4.el6.art.x86_64

I've followed the installation guide from http://www.openvas.org and after the 
installation I've runned openvas-check-setup, and almos everything seems all 
right:

It seems like your OpenVAS-5 installation is OK.

I think these warning are not important, please correct me if I'm wrong.

anyway, the problem is when I try to login to https://192.168.1.1:9392/ the 
process "gsad" starts to consume 100% of the CPU and the login page starts to 
shows after more than 10 minutes. The same happens when I login, it takes more 
than 10 minutes to show the management web page.

I've read about it in this post 
http://lists.wald.intevation.org/pipermail/openvas-discuss/2011-November/003613.html.
 I've installed /usr/lib64/libmicrohttpd.so.10.16.1. Anyway the version in the 
post is not available from the source.

Could please someone help me on this? the application is no usable as everytime 
the session expired I have to wait more than 10 minutes to login again, and the 
CPU ussage is also too high. I've have seen gsad ussing 400% of CPU.

am i doing something wrong?

Thanks & Regards.

Manel
