Question about account permissions....


I'd like to use a local account for my scans instead of my personal LDAP entry but I can't seem to get the scans to work when I do.  If I use my personal credentials (in LDAP with Public/Private key authentication) a scan results in about 200 detections.  If I do the same scan but use a local account (useradd --create-home --uid=432 --gid=432 --groups=root openvas) I get only 50 detections.  I've confirmed the user/pass I provided for the credential is correct (I was able to ssh to localhost and log in as openvas).  So I'm thinking something else is missing?  As you can see, I've created the account as a member of root's group. 


Are there other groups it needs? 


Is it not "seeing" the user because it's not in LDAP?  I'd rather not put the account in LDAP, is there a way to get OpenVAS to recognize a local account?
