I have been afraid to receive this kind of answers. As what I do remember 
from previous installations, the standard setting should be "Yes" for the 
mentioned preference; am I right. I am sure that I am running the default 
Full and Fast scan configs, since I have just the 5 default scan configs 
on that systems, which can not be changed or deleted.

Any advice to sort that issue out is very welcome. I tried copying the 
content of /var/lib/openvas/ and subdirectories from the system which has 
the preference set to "No" to a third fresh test system, ending up in 
having all tasks, schedules, etc. on that test system, but the preference 
changed from "Yes" to "No" as again.
