Hi list, Aaron, did you remember to execute 'xhost +' as a normal user before trying zenmap as root? This is what it means "refused by server" in your error. If I don't allow other users to connect to my X as a normal user, even root can't connect. For me this is how is happening now: 1- #zenmap Segmentation Fault 2- # export DISPLAY=:0 # zenmap (...) Segmentation Fault 3- $ xhost + # export DISPLAY=:0 #zenmap it works...... Cheers. sebas El Friday 11 April 2008 05:17:03 Diman Todorov escribió:

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
