New Revision: 2529

Modified:
   trunk/openvas-server/ChangeLog
   trunk/openvas-server/openvasd/preferences.c
Log:
Set default value for Silent Dependencies to 'No'. Naive users otherwise
might miss some security issues due to suppression of messages coming
from the server through NVTs that other NVTs just depend on.

* openvasd/preferences.d: Set default value for silent_dependencies
to 'no'.
