I get that we think it won't work correctly, but what in OpenVAS does not function as intended when SELinux is enabled? I hate telling people to just disable SELinux because one process doesn't behave as expected. I compare it to telling people to disable their firewall because one program can't access the internet. If a process in OpenVAS does not behave correctly, there are simple configuration changes you can make to let SELinux be more permissive on a per-process basis to resolve the issue. > You need to correctly configure redis as documented . > > -- > Eero > > 2015-05-12 16:20 GMT+03:00 Brian Chabot <bcha...@millennialmedia.com>: > >> I'm not sold on the need to disable SELinux here, but that may help. >> >> At this point, I have the installation of OpenVAS up and running, but >> when I ran my first scan, it completed with the following error: >> WARNING: Cannot connect to KB at '/tmp/redis.sock': Connection refused' >> >> So.... off to install redis.
