I apologize for the delay in getting back to you all on this, my day job has been overwhelming lately. I tried your suggestion with the following result: nonroot$ sudo su - myrootprompt# export DISPLAY=:0 myrootprompt# zenmap Xlib: connection to ":0.0" refused by server Xlib: Invalid MIT-MAGIC-COOKIE-1 key Segmentation fault I did some digging on this error in google and I found a response suggesting the error stems from trying to run something in an x- session that is owned by another user. I opened a root-shell directly and ran zenmap again myrootprompt# zenmap With the result that it opened normally. Can anyone tell me why I am seeing this behavior? Why does zenmap segmentation fault out if I open a normal shell and run: sudo zenmap but if I open a root shell, it launches fine. This seems odd to me.
it is odd :) It is definitely a bug. Maybe the GSoCers will get around to fixing that. cheers, diman _______________________________________________ Sent through the nmap-dev mailing list http://cgi.insecure.org/mailman/listinfo/nmap-dev Archived at http://SecLists.Org
