This field used to make sense in our pre-git days, but the Signed-Off-By: line serves the same purpose (and even more) now, so APPROVED has been rejected. ;-) Signed-off-by: Robby Workman <rworkman@slackbuilds.org> |

OpenVAS stands for Open Vulnerability Assessment System and is a network security scanner with associated tools like a graphical user front-end. The core component is a server with a set of network vulnerability tests (NVTs) to detect security problems in remote systems and applications. OpenVAS products are Free Software under GNU GPL and a fork of Nessus. To build a complete OpenVAS scanner installation, however, you have to compile and install the packages in the following sequence: 1. openvas-libraries 2. openvas-scanner 3. openvas-client The openvas-client GUI is needed to interact with the OpenVAS scanner, however there are some new optional modules: 1. openvas-manager for storing and organizing scans on a central server in a SQL database 2. openvas-administrator for User-, Feed- and Settings-Management 3. greenbone-security-assistant for a web-based Vulnerability Management This package provides the OpenVAS manager. It will also install an init script to start the manager at system startup; however, read carefully the README provided in the package doc folder, as it outlines some important configuration prerequisites. Remember to rebuild OpenVAS Manager cache at least one time, running either "openvasmd --rebuild" or "/etc/rc.d/rc.openvasmd rebuild".
