Hello, It seems that if one an ssh key matches an nmap target and the ssh key is bad in some way, the nmap script `ssh-hostkey` fails. Obviously not directly an nmap problem, but thought you might like to know. This is using a freshly installed 6.87 from homebrew. Relevant traceback is below. ......
