Hi all, i'm still using openvas6, and i can see that max_hosts configured in /usr/local/etc/openvas/openvassd.conf and also in each task is ignored and when i run from omp line interface all task, all start in paralell.
In gsad (administration - settings), max_hosts is ok = 4 but ignored.
Any idea?
Best regards

I think (so i am not sure...) the Option is only for all hosts in one Task. So if you start 4 tasks with 4 hosts each, it will start 16 hosts. but if you have one task with 16 hosts, it will just start with 4 hosts.
I hope i got you right.
