Hi all,

I'm trying to set up OpenVAS, but I keep getting stuck when openvas-setup
attempts to rsync.

The default method for rsync is rsh. My company has strict rules against
tools like telnet and remote shell built into the firewall.

Thankfully, the NVT and SCAP data feeds have wget and curL as alternative
options to rsync. Cert data, however, does not.

I can't use rsync to rsh into feed.openvas.org, and, in the absence of
necessary credentials, I can't use rsync to ssh into feed.openvas.org
either.

It seems our use of OpenVAS hinges on this problem.

Can OpenVAS please provide alternatives to rsync rsh for syncing cert data?
If not, please give a rationale.

Thanks,
Emily Crowe
P.S. I'm not sure if this is the correct listserv for this topic. Apologies
if it's not.
