Robby Workman 84d2168900 Various: Set perms to 0644 on all SlackBuild scripts
These will (ideally, assuming we remember when generating tarballs)
still be mode 0755 inside the tarballs, but we would prefer to have
them mode 0644 on the server.  It's probably not really important,
but just call us OCD like that.  ;-)

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 administrator together with an rc script to
start it at system startup.
