Bug regarding IPv6 scanning

["Andreas Lang" <andreas.lang () gmail com>]

Dear nmap Team,

After working around, I think I found a bug within port scaning in an IPv6
network.
The Bug is still in version nmap 4.76 and can be described as follows:
By using the parameters -6 and -A to scan the ipv6-localhost ::1 for a non
root user the result is like expected the list of all open ports and its
service behind it. If the same parameters are used for the root user (tested
on a linux machine with 2.6.24 kernel) then the message is posted, that the
parameters are not supported for IPv6 scanning. And IPv6 is only avalible
for connect() scan ... etc.

I think, if the scanning technique with the selected parameters work well
for non-root users, then the same parameter set must work for the root user.

Or do I understand something wrong?

I look forward hearing a feedback from you
Best regards
Andreas
