kali-linux-1.0.9a-amd64.iso
VMWare Workstation 9
(have also tried on virtualbox)
All of the instructionals I have seen with regard to setting up openVas state that you will be prompted to enter a password for 'admin' at the tail-end of the installation. What I see however is password being auto-generated.
How I am running the openVAS installation: applications -> Kali Linux -> Vulnerability Analysis -> OpenVAS -> OpenVas initial setup
it rolls through the entire setup, but at the end states "user created with password 'b2273996-450c-40f8-b0ef-1c9d8a76f3c4'. So it looks like it is kicking back the uuid of an auto-generated password..
I tried admin, admin
tried the root password, root login and password and every combination therein.
Has anyone come across this before?
Thx

Cannot add user via cli (i.e. openvasad -c 'add_user' -n openvasadmin -r Admin)
Any help appreciated. Thx
