I am following this tutorial on a CentOS 7 box: https://linuxincluded.com/installing-openvas-on-centos-7/. When I run openvas-setup, I get the following:


Updating NVTs....

Updating OpenVAS Manager certificates: Complete

When I try to add a user named 'openvas', I get this:

adduser: group openvas exists - if you want to add this user to that group, use -g.

Running the first command manually, I get this:

-bash: /usr/sbin/greenbone-nvt-sync: No such file or directory

Because the script runs a wrong command to add user openvas. You should run the following command first:

useradd openvas -g openvas

Then run the following to fix "-bash: /usr/sbin/greenbone-nvt-sync: No such file or directory"

ln -s /usr/bin/greenbone-nvt-sync /usr/sbin/greenbone-nvt-syn
ln -s /usr/bin/greenbone-nvt-sync /usr/sbin/greenbone-nvt-sync
