Openssh LSC with RSA key authentication Guillaume Castagnino (May 22)
Hi,

I'm currently trying to use ssh key authentication for LSC.
With openvas 5, I can easyly provide my own generated key with
http://www.openvas.org/omp-3-0.html#command_create_lsc_credential

Using a DSA openssh key is fine (converting the ssh key to pkcs8 form as
described here : http://www.openvas.org/performing_lsc.html)

Problem is when I try to use a RSA key (which is de default format for
openssh generated keys nowadays). I have...

So this is only a display bug. Great thanks !

Re: openvas-5 seems to ignore max_hosts setting at task level ? Matthew Mundell (May 21)
Thanks for spotting this. There's an error in the brief case of GET_TASKS.
If you add details="1" to GET_TASKS those values should be correct.

It's solved in trunk r13478 and backported to OpenVAS-5 in r13479. Will be
in the next OpenVAS-5 Manager release.

Re: OpenVAS-5 Demo VM ready Russell Jones (May 21)
Sourceforge will host this for you. It will have a small amount of
advertisements, but you can actually link directly to the download file.

Re: OpenVAS-5 Demo VM ready Matt Standish (May 21)
The group I work with provides mirroring for Opensource projects. We are
connected to Internet2 and have plenty of commodity bandwidth. I will
just need an rsync address (we do not support push at this time). If you
are interested please respond off list.

openvas-5 seems to ignore max_hosts setting at task level ? Guillaume Castagnino (May 21)
Hi list,

I'm currently upgrading my omp scripts to suit openvas-5 changes. In
particular, I'm trying to use the new task preferences

1) create the task (http://www.openvas.org/omp-3-0.html#command_create_task)
Look at the max_hosts value : 11

<name>Task-233289f4-4c1e-4d8a-89dc-32175271d254</name>

Hi, Jan-Oliver

Just checked, as an alternative without advertisements, https://savannah.nongnu.org/ provides
http://download.savannah.gnu.org with automatic mirroring (You can use a direct download url .savannah.gnu.org and it
will automatically choose a geographically close mirror).

Kind regards,

Daniel

Re: OpenVAS-5 Demo VM ready Jan-Oliver Wagner (May 21)
I should have added that I'd prefer a site where we can
use a direct download URL. And without advertisements
around the download annoying the users.

Not sure whether Google or Sourceforge do allow so.

OpenVAS-5 Demo VM ready Jan-Oliver Wagner (May 21)
Hello OpenVAS users,

I am copying this over from the devel mailing list
as we seem to not find a suitable site to serve the
new VM.

the VM does not really solve the problem

my first start was also with the VM and it failed because this
crippled OpenSUSE even missed zypper and if someone is maintaining
only RHEL/Fedora amchines he will not be happy with SuSE

so well, last december i spent two weeks to get OpenVAS running in
a Fedora 15 VM, rebuilt all RPM packages by myself and added the

Hi Daniel, thanks for your answer!! I will stick to my Openvas4 then. Hope
we can migrate easily from one to the other, after all the bugs are solved.
