hi Christian...

the check script is issuing a warning that nmap 6.47 - the one that comes with this brand new install - is not "fully supported".

i used "full and very deep" as i'm trying to prepare a machine for a pci scanning. do i really need to downgrade nmap?

i did check the link about the icmp packets. with the previous version i had - i believe it was 6 - that was never a problem.

and the selinux is already disabled. i believe that was done by the openvas-setup command from here:

http://www.openvas.org/install-packages-v7.html

if it would have worked i wouldn't mind having 7 fully functional but following those instructions i got openvas-8, not 7 installed...

here is the full check output:

openvas-check-setup 2.3.2
  Test completeness and readiness of OpenVAS-8
  (add '--v6' or '--v7' or '--v9'
   if you want to check for another OpenVAS version)

  Please report us any non-detected problems and
  help us to improve this check routine:

  like GSD and OpenVAS-CLI.

so i'm trying quick and dirty scan - the default. the status is changed

done. the interface has this column "severity" that reads N/A. and
that's it. not much of a scan results...

had posted yesterday (on IRC) some common issues users are struggling
with when having that mentioned issue:

- Make sure that you're using either the default "full'n'fast" scan
config or include the "Nmap (NASL wrapper)" NVT from the "Port scanners"
family in your custom scan config.

- If your system is not answering to ICMP requests the "Alive Test"
option of your Target configuration might be another pitfall:
http://docs.greenbone.net/GSM-Manual/gos-3.1/en/scanning.html#creating-a-target

As you're on CentOS then you might also need to disable SELinux.
