Commenting that out fixed it though: <code> # if [ -n "`which mktemp`" ]; then # SYNC_TMP_DIR=`mktemp -d openvas-nvt-sync` || { echo "ERROR: Cannot create temporary directory for file download" >&2; exit 1 ; } # trap "rm -rf $SYNC_TMP_DIR" 0 1 2 5 15 # fi </code> Installation went smoothly on Ubuntu 10.04 except for the openvas-nvt-sync step, since that tries to use mktemp when available, and the version isn’t apparently compatible as evoked.

(http://www.openvas.org/src-doc/gsa-1.0.0/gsad__oap_8c.html) file. Just give it a last try. I had a talk with some people and they said there is a default username/password defined for this. As I haven't used gsa so I am unaware of the credentials as these days I am focusing on some different research works. However if the above file helps you then its great or else you can go to openvas IRC channel and put your query and they will help you immediately. BTW, I am glad to hear that your Openvas-Client is working flawlessly now. :) And please put the answer here also if your GSA authentication issue is solved. So that I can put that information while I will be writing a new article about gsa installation. - XyluX Shahish,
