Hi, I am using Nmap version 3.00 to do a ping sweep of a network on Enterprise Redhat Linux 2.4.21-27. Thh command line I use is "nmap -sP 192.168.1.1/24 " When I am running the ping sweep as normal user I am able to discover some devices in the network. But when I run the ping sweep as root user it is detecting more devices and in some cases reporting non existing host as running. Anyone hit this issue before ? -Pran
