Hello,

I've already written a couple of emails about strange timeouts without
any reply. So I decided to analyze the source code myself.

I noticed that with the default timeout (320 seconds) a few plugins
(tells, elk, etc. ..) stopped after just 120 seconds.

Searching in the source code I found the function plug_get_key() in the
file openvas-libraries-6.0.0/misc/plugutils.c that set an alarm at 120
seconds. So I set a value higher than 320 seconds and now it works as
expected.

Is this a bug or a feature? I don't find it correct because the alarm
doesn't respect any user's timeout.

Andrea
