OpenVAS-discuss,

Sharing some experience just because.

I just now upgraded my platform to OpenVAS9 from 8 and feared issues with my 
slave scanners because I saw a lot of messages and posts about the OpenVAS9 
slaves using sockets instead of a TCP listener. I didn't want to stunnel my way 
from sockets to IP and such.
Turns out, my setup was different from the get-go! My slaves use a full OpenVAS 
installation (libraries, manager and scanner). The master communicates with the 
slaves using OMP.
This works just fine over TCP with OpenVAS9 through port 9390 with SSL and 
credentials.

In OpenVAS9 I see 3 options for a "Scanner":
- OMP Slave
- OpenVAS Scanner
- OSP Scanner

I use the OMP Slave one. If anyone has any questions regarding this, let me 
know.
