well, the greenbone script only works with a valid access key. The openvas script accesses a public service. > As I mentioned, I am behind a corporate firewall.

And unfortunately, they are changed minimally for no good reason each time. Thus a sync process is saves a lot of bandwith on the server side. With openvas-scapdata-sync --selftest you can test the connection without really doing the sync. There is also a "--verbose" switch. In some cases the DNS can fail. Make sure you can ping feed.openvas.org from where you start the sync script. -- 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 Openvas-discuss@wald.intevation.org https://lists.wald.intevation.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/openvas-discuss
