I last did an NVT update with the install on 15 Jan'16. When I did a sync via the GSA for NVT yesterday it only stayed on the same amount. Ran openvas-nvt-sync and restarted both openvas services, but still the same number. My signatures are in place. I did some reading and somebody suggested to stop the scanner while update is running, tried that and still nothing. Another said to do a openvasmd --rebuild after the sync, and that seemed to have done the trick. My NVT's are now on 45841.
What I'd like to know is this how it should work as I've gone through the manuals and I'm sure it didn't mention it. I want to use crontab to do regular updates of NVT's, but then there should be something extra to do the rebuild also? And shouldn't the SCAP and CERT data also be included in this cron job? Thank you for the assistance Kind Regards, Fred
