Hi List, We ran a scan with the following parameters using nmap 6.26SVN (I don't know the exact revision, but it's from December 6th): " nmap -sTUV -Pn -O -pT:-,U:7,53,67,68,69,111,123,137,161,177,500,520,1645,1812,1900,2049,3478,3479,4500,5060,5070,5353,10080 -oA outputfile -iL targetsFile " and got the following result " NSE: Script Engine Scan Aborted. An error was thrown by the engine: /usr/local/bin/../share/nmap/nse_main.lua:898: error in __gc metamethod (/usr/local/bin/../share/nmap/nse_main.lua:391: Error in setup of iod with proto 17 and af 2: Too many open files (24)) stack traceback: [C]: in function 'threads_iter' /usr/local/bin/../share/nmap/nse_main.lua:898: in function 'run' /usr/local/bin/../share/nmap/nse_main.lua:1358: in function </usr/local/bin/../share/nmap/nse_main.lua:1261> [C]: in ?

Currently we are trying run on a smaller set of hosts in parallel (--max-hostgroup 64), to see if this could possibly solve the issue temporally. Could this be related to these posts ? http://seclists.org/nmap-dev/2012/q3/538 http://seclists.org/nmap-dev/2012/q3/864 http://seclists.org/nmap-dev/2012/q3/872 http://seclists.org/nmap-dev/2012/q4/133 Regards, Jesper _______________________________________________ Sent through the dev mailing list http://nmap.org/mailman/listinfo/dev Archived at http://seclists.org/nmap-dev/
