Please note that the upstream maintainers no longer maintain this
package and request users to upgrade the plugins using the 
'openvas-nvt-sync' program.

This package provides a set of basic plugins as well as the 'openvas-nvt-sync'
program. Administrators should update their plugins right after installing this
package through the script.

The set of plugins provided by this package might be useful for users
that are running OpenVAS in closed environments and without an Internet
connection (or in a network which has limited access to the Internet). However,
users are encouraged to download and install the full set since this package
might not be updated frequently enough. 

An out-of-date set of plugins (i.e. security checks) might lead to a "false
sense of security". There might be open security holes in your network or
systems which openvas-server might not detect if using outdated plugins.
