IIRC there were some bugfixes around this topic. So using the latest release of the OpenVAS version you use might already help. However, are you sure you do not see a task on the slave system when logged in with the same user you configured for the slave on your master? Perhaps there is no network connection between the two. The master will now and then retry and keep in the Requested status as long as it gets no confirmation of the slave. -- Dr. Jan-Oliver Wagner | +49-541-335084-0 | http://www.greenbone.net/ Greenbone Networks GmbH, Neuer Graben 17, 49074 Osnabrück | AG Osnabrück, HR B 202460 Geschäftsführer: Lukas Grunwald, Dr. Jan-Oliver Wagner _______________________________________________ Openvas-discuss mailing list [email protected] https://lists.wald.intevation.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/openvas-discuss
