Fyodor, et al., I finally managed to get a clean build of nmap under IRIX earlier today after upgrading to the latest gcc version, but whenever I run it I get this error: root@bedivere:~> /opt/nmap/3.30/bin/nmap -I -O -P0 -sT -v gwain Starting nmap 3.30 ( http://www.insecure.org/nmap/ ) at 2003-08-30 14:21 PDT Host gwain (172.16.1.9) appears to be up ... good. Initiating Connect() Scan against gwain (172.16.1.9) at 14:38 Adding open port 8080/tcp Adding open port 119/tcp Adding open port 110/tcp Adding open port 25/tcp Adding open port 22/tcp The Connect() Scan took 1 second to scan 1644 ports. pcap_open_live: snoop: unknown physical layer type It's curious because it does start the scan, the machine at 172.16.1.9 picks up a single port probe after I try and run nmap against it, and always a different port number each time I try it. After the probe, it aborts with the message above. Anyone have any suggestions as to what's causing the error and the scan to abort? I have libpcap installed (version 0.7.2) from http://freeware.sgi.com, nmap was compiled with gcc 3.3, and I'm running IRIX 6.5.21m on a R10000 Indigo2IMPACT. -- Steven Harrison 0 OK, 0:1 --------------------------------------------------------------------- For help using this (nmap-dev) mailing list, send a blank email to nmap-dev-help () insecure org .
