Dear OpenVAS Team, I have tried to locate the file openvas-manager.extra but could not able to find it at /etc/default.
Do I need to create a new one? I have also tried #openvasmd --max-ips-per-target=65535. But I am unable to create target of /16 CIDR. Could you please guide here. Does editing the above requires any restarting of the services as well? I am new to OpenVAS and to Linux environment as well. Thanks in Advance. Thanks & Regards Girish From: [email protected] To: Girish Degaonkar <[email protected]> Date: 05/04/2016 01:27 PM Subject: Re: [Openvas-discuss] Help Dear Girish, yes no problem. Do as following: Open the file "vim /etc/default/openvas-manager.extra" in your favorite editor, and add or change the following entry: EXTRA_DAEMON_ARGS="--max-ips-per-target=65535" --max-ips-per-target: <Here you define the max number> Hope this helps! Cheers, Michael (Eissele).
