CentOS - Sep 2013 - Anyone has experience with OpenVAS and the Atomicorp repository

I was looking for a vulnerability scanner and found OpenVAS. Does anyone has
experiences with that scanner?
And with the Atomicorp repository? (the OpenVAS website refers to that repo)

Thanks
Patrick

I downloaded last week OpenVAS but I don't know if I made some mistake or
no... By the way the project is really interesting so if someone has some
tips about installation and configuration I will be happy to read.

I have used it on CentOS 6.3.

This is how we loaded it.

Step 1: Configure Atomicorp Repository
sudo -i
export NON_INT=Y; wget -q -O - http://www.atomicorp.com/installers/atomic | sh

Step 2: Quick-Install OpenVAS
yum -y --disablerepo=\* --enablerepo=base,updates,atomic,rpmforge install
openvas gsd
openvas-setup
openvas-certdata-sync
service openvas-scanner start
openvasmd --rebuild
service openvas-manager start
service gsad start


During the openvas-setup you will prompted to create a user/login.
-- no rules are needed.

The above step can take quite a while depending on the speed of your connection
as all the current security vulnerabilities are being downloaded.
Open https://localhost:9392/ or start "gsd" on a command line as a
regular user (not as root!)
The first thing to do is create a target under Configuration menu then create a
Scan Task and then start the scan task. Refresh your browser to track the
progress of the scan.
