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. This package provides the OpenVAS core libraries. 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-scanner 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 As a last note, keep in mind that this is a major version transition: the older openvas-libnasl and openvas-plugins packages no longer exists, openvas-server has been replaced by the openvas-scanner package and there are the new optional modules. A straight upgradepkg (with removal of deprecated packages) *SHOULD* work but also consider to backup your old configuration and starting over from a fresh OpenVAS installation.
