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.
