Hello,

I understand your VM now is OpenVAS base, why in the getting start
guide you still refer to Nessus
do I have to run this ? /usr/Server/Nessus/bin/nessus-fetch –register
<your key>

how to get plugin from OpenVAS ?

thanks

Scott

Let's chalk that up to an idiot that needs to update his directions.
Looks like I converted the software....not the directions. I have a
schedule script that runs around 1am on the VM that will run the nvt
sync to update all of the plugins automagically. Since OpenVAS
doesn't require Nessus registration, you won't need to perform the
nessus-fetch --register command. I will update those directions and
repost along with adding the comments about the svmNetworkSetup.sh
script and how to use it.
