[Bug Report] Host order becoming important when using r00t

Hi All! Just noticed this bug when testing: host order becomes important when using root. To reproduce the bug: try running "sudo nmap scanme.nmap.org localhost -sn" and "sudo nmap localhost scanme.nmap.org -sn". Logically, both should give the same result (except for ordering of hosts in output). However, the first command works perfectly (shows both hosts up), and the second commands takes a lot of time followed by showing scanme.nmap.org as down. For reference, the output for both commands with -d9 is at [1] and [2]. (Run with latest svn trunk). Seems like the problem lies in some probes getting no response (in the second ordering). Another interesting thing is that this problem comes up only when running as root (either through sudo, or through root directly). I haven't tried tracing this bug since I'm currently working on the --ignore-after option. If anyone figures out why this happens or wants to take this up, you're welcome to work on it. :) Cheers, Jay Links: [1] http://pastebin.com/fP9xW4iw [2] http://pastebin.com/1HUr8whT _______________________________________________ Sent through the dev mailing list http://nmap.org/mailman/listinfo/dev Archived at http://seclists.org/nmap-dev/
