OpenVAS site doesn’t have to do anything to login to their IRC Channel. You can just install xChat/mIRC and change your server data to : irc.oftc.net and join #openvas to get into their channel and put your queries to them.

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. Commenting that out fixed it though:


#        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
