    OpenVAS listening on external ip

    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?
