Hi :

While coding  nasl scripts i ran into this problem. The script dependencies
doesnt seem to work and the "foo.nasl" is being called and executed before
the "foo_detector.nasl" (Optimize-Test option & Enable script dependencies
are set)...

foo_detector.nasl
==================
if (! isnull(foo_found)) set_kb_item(name:var_foo, value: TRUE);

foo.nasl
=========
script_dependencie("foo_detector.nasl");
...
<snip>
...

Moreover, the NASL2 manual says,
" get_kb_item retrieves an entry from the KB.
....
You should not call this function when some connections are open if you
do not want to see several processes fighting to read or write on the 
same socket."

Could anyone explain this and shed some light on how to safely implement
mutex over here...

Thanks in advance,

-=skillz=-
