Nmap

Hi,

I am using Nmap  version 3.00  to do a ping sweep of a network on 
Enterprise Redhat Linux   2.4.21-27.


Thh command line I use is  "nmap -sP 192.168.1.1/24 "


When I am running the ping sweep as normal user   I am able to
discover some  devices in the network.

But when I run the ping sweep as root user it is detecting more
devices and in some cases reporting non existing host as running.

Anyone hit this issue before ?
