Hey,

i wanna configure OpenVAS to listen on my LAN Adapter not on 127.0.0.1. So i need to change the listening Ip. But that doesnt work. I edited the following files and restarted OpenVAS but greenbone is just listening on 127.00.1

1. /etc/init.d/openvas-scanner added in DAEMONOPTS="--listen=xxxxxxxx"
2. /etc/default/greenbone-security-assistant added GSA_ADDRESS=xxxxxx

but greenbone still listening on 127.0.0.1

Anyone some ideas?
