Hi,

I'm running nmap 2.07 with options -sU -p123.
Both source and destination machines are Solaris 2.x and are on the
same subnet.  It's taking forever.  truss reveals that it's doing
getmsg(5,....) in what seems to be an infinite loop, where descriptor 5
corresponds to /dev/hme.

Thanks

Igor


Actually, now that I looked at it more, -sX, -sU, -sN and -sF don't
work at all under Solaris 2.6 in versions later than 2.03.

Here's another problem that I have:

If I run nmap -sT localhost as a user, it works fine.
If I run nmap -sT localhost as a root, I got the error
pcap_open_live: /dev/lo0: No such file or directory

Any ideas?

Thanks

Igor
