Update:

ping.nasl runs and I can see traffic listening via tcpdump on target:

16:02:06.623903 IP (tos 0x0, ttl 56, id 24917, offset 0, flags [none], proto 
TCP (6), length 44)
    XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX.33750 > XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX.443: Flags [S], cksum 0xcd2a 
(correct), seq 1701439924, win 1024, options [mss 1460], length 0

nmap.nasl "hangs" though with no incoming traffic reaching target

Any suggestions?  This was compiled from source on Kali 1.09 following this

Sorry for the n00b inquiry.

I am having issues executing nmap port scan using Openvas 7.

Setup output shows no problems:

Yet "ps aux" shows that nmap does not launch.  I am confused as to whether my 
scan config should use "Launch Nmap for Network Scanning" or "Nmap (NASL 
wrapper)."

Have a good weekend!

Thanks,
Doug
