Tried that, no luck, but I resorted to removing the entry from the database (/var/lib/openvas/mgr/tasks.db). Hope that doesn't break anything...

I found out, after some trial and error. Had to create openvassd.conf - it wasn't there and the values in openvasd.conf didn't change anything. Running now with rather low values for those, and it seems the server can handle it.

Thanks a bunch

I all pedagogikk er det essensielt at pensum presenteres intelligibelt. Det er et elementært imperativ for alle pedagoger å unngå eksessiv anvendelse av idiomer med fremmed opprinnelse. I de fleste tilfeller eksisterer adekvate og relevante synonymer på norsk.
