Peter, Thanks for letting us know. Zenmap on OS X has been a real pain to get right, and I'm really sorry it's not working for you. A couple things here should make you feel better until we can get this resolved: First, the warning about insufficient rights really only has to do with running the nmap executable. Zenmap itself doesn't need any privileges. So you can get pretty much full functionality by using the unprivileged Zenmap.bin and opening scan files that command-line Nmap creates with -oX (or -oA). Second, we recently got some updated Apple hardware, so we'll be able to test on a system other than the build system, which should eliminate a lot of the path-dependency bugs we're hitting currently. I will personally be setting this up and doing a full audit and overhaul of the Zenmap build and packaging process in the coming weeks. If this effort is productive, I expect we'll do a bugfix release specifically to address these issues well before the next stable point release.

Congrats with the v7 release. Just installed the nmap 7.00 DMG, zenmap non-start issue persists. Asks for permission, then nothing happens. Using Ernestas' way, if I use "/Applications/Zenmap.app/Contents/MacOS/Zenmap.bin", XQuartz starts and zenmap shows up, naturally complaining that it doesn't have quite enough rights to fully work. Using OSX 10.11.1 Cheers, P _______________________________________________ Sent through the dev mailing list https://nmap.org/mailman/listinfo/dev Archived at http://seclists.org/nmap-dev/
