Should nmap fall back to -sT if we can't perform a raw scan?

[Jacek Wielemborek <d33tah () gmail com>]

List,

On my system, nmap's executable has selinux privileges allowing it to perform 
raw scans, which I turn on by default by exporting NMAP_PRIVILEGED="1". Today 
I noticed that this setup breaks scanning localhost:

[13:16:20][~/workspace/nmap-svn]$ ./nmap --privileged localhost

Starting Nmap 6.46 ( http://nmap.org ) at 2014-04-29 13:16 CEST
socket troubles in Init: Operation not permitted (1)

Perhaps we need to fall back to -sT in some cases, such as this one?

Yours,
Jacek Wielemborek
