Notes about openvas-scanner in Debian ------------------------------------- The Debian package ships a working redis configuration file (/etc/redis/redis-openvas.conf) and an openvas-scanner configuration file (/etc/openvas/openvas.conf) that work together by default. Since version 10 there is no longer openvas-scanner.service. If you are not using systemd, then it's up to you to tweak the configuration to get it to work. One possible way to get there is to replace /etc/redis/redis.conf by /etc/redis/redis-openvas.conf, restart redis-server and be done with it.
