Root ping scan uses raw packets and nmap assumes a host it up if it gets any reply to its probe. To be sure, run it with --packet-trace and you can see what is happening. - ejlb
But -sT is used on both scans. -Kris _______________________________________________ Sent through the nmap-dev mailing list http://cgi.insecure.org/mailman/listinfo/nmap-dev Archived at http://SecLists.Org
