You'd need to log *ALL* packets to do this. ie:

log any any -> any any


NMAP scans are all over the place, and most of the packets look "ordinary" so
there's no good way for an IDS to identify every packet in a NMAP scan. It's
only going to be able to identify some of the unusual packets NMAP uses during
its host ping, and during its OS identification.


p.s. if at first you don't get a reply, don't repost the exact same message
again. It makes you appear less smart than you are. If you must repost, at least
try revising your message so it is more clear.
