openvas-check setup output (only issues are in step 7, everything else configured fine):

Step 7: Checking if OpenVAS services are up and running ...

further checks show:

tail -f /var/log/openvas/gsad.log
gsad main:WARNING:2011-12-22 09h41.10 utc:3588: Binding to port 443 failed, trying default port 9392 next.


So my question how to you get 'gsad' to run at the appropriate ports and end existing services?
As the first time I installed, 'sudo gsad' launched the client window and I was able to browse http://127.0.0.1:9392.
How can I get the client to launch also?

Plus how do you configure openvas-manager to run on the local and remote connection?

Thanks in advance.
