Initial Comment:
When doing a local check, the first registered socket seems to be blocked forever.
(I suspect a connection to bug 788 (http://bugs.openvas.org/788)
I digged into the code but the origin stays unclear for me (messages in the following extract stem from openvas-server/shared_socket.c)

ssh -v on the target responds:
OpenSSH_3.5p1, SSH protocols 1.5/2.0, OpenSSL 0x0090609f

/var/log/openvas/openvasd.messages shows ("xyz" are sane values):
...
[Wed Feb 11 09:57:33 2009][25572] user xyz starts a new scan. Target(s) : xyz, with max_hosts = 20 and max_checks = 4
[Wed Feb 11 09:57:33 2009][25572] user xyz : testing xyz (xyz) [26846]

... continues like that ...
