Bug report, with workaround

Hello, I've used Nmap before but was having grief today. To be more specific, I'm using Zenmap on Windows XP. I could scan ok and some info was displayed about the target hosts. I then got to the message saying how many hosts were scanned in what time, and then an error "The system cannot find the path specified." As in: Nmap done: 40 IP addresses (8 hosts up) scanned in 4.61 seconds The system cannot find the path specified. At which point, the scan failed with no hosts/services being listed in the left hand pane. After a while of tearing my hair out, I found a file called r at C:\Documents and Settings which looked like something to do with my scan results. The username I was running under in Windows is "R & T blah blah" and it looks like the '&' (or maybe spaces - haven't tested this) is causing problems for Nmap being able to create the C:\Documents and Settings\R & T blah blah\.zenmap\zenmap database file. I created another user account with no '&' in it and it was business as usual for Nmap. I can't find any way to change the location where zenmap puts this file though I'm sure the '&' in the user name problem can be resolved. Hope this is helpful and I've sent it to the right place. Regards, Mike Crawford. _________________________________________________________________ Celebrate a decade of Messenger with free winks, emoticons, display pics, and more. http://clk.atdmt.com/UKM/go/157562755/direct/01/ _______________________________________________ Sent through the nmap-dev mailing list http://cgi.insecure.org/mailman/listinfo/nmap-dev Archived at http://SecLists.Org
