Sorry if this is off topic but I think you may be interested to know this problem that I had with nmap. I wanted to know the number of servers in a large intra-net of the company I work for. So I started an nmap scan wit the following command: %nmap -sT -O -p 1-1024 -n -m nmaplog.txt XXX.YYY.*.* The next day, the people from the field operations department told me that the scan had caused the HP-UX servers to freeze but could not explain why this could have happened. My questions: Is it reasonable to expect something like this to happen ? Have any of you heard anything like this before ?? -- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Agustin Navarro P. anavarro () vip eniac com 58.2.9630746
