Hi, I've just tried nmap on NetBSD, encouraged by your stats on your web page. Unfortunately, it seems to have some endiannes problem: while it worked out of the box on sparc (big endian), it did not work on intel (little endian):
Several people have written me about this problem, and in all cases the solution has been to add: #define FREEBSD 1 into the config.h right after you do ./configure but before you do 'make'. This turns on special work arounds for a bug in FreeBSD which apparently also exists in NetBSD. I'll add this information to the next version of nmap so you shouldn't have to hack it like this. If anyone has a NetBSD/Intel box which *does* work (-sS and -sF) with the current nmap, please send me the version info so I don't break nmap for your system. Cheers, Fyodor
