Oops, look like when starting openvasmd to listen on TCP port instead of unix 
socket, I'm no longer able to connect to the GSA WUI !
Here what I can see in gsad.log file -> Failed to connect to server: No such 
file or directory

I've to make openvasmd to listen to unix socket again for the GSA WUI to work.

Gerhard,
