The nmap on your system either tries to write to a memory segment marked read-only, or is trying to read from a memory segment that doesn't belong to it. The kernel doesn't like that, so it sends the offending process (nmap, in this case) a segmentation violation signal (SIGSEGV), which roughly translates to a good kick in the fracas for fondling someone elses girlfriend. The fracas being sensitive and the kernel being mighty, this means an early night for nmap. -- Andreas Ericsson andreas.ericsson () op5 se OP5 AB www.op5.se Tel: +46 8-230225 Fax: +46 8-230231 _______________________________________________ Sent through the nmap-dev mailing list http://cgi.insecure.org/mailman/listinfo/nmap-dev
