Re: zenmap issue persists

[Daniel Miller <bonsaiviking () gmail com>]

Peter,

Thanks for letting us know. Zenmap on OS X has been a real pain to get
right, and I'm really sorry it's not working for you. A couple things here
should make you feel better until we can get this resolved:

First, the warning about insufficient rights really only has to do with
running the nmap executable. Zenmap itself doesn't need any privileges. So
you can get pretty much full functionality by using the unprivileged
Zenmap.bin and opening scan files that command-line Nmap creates with -oX
(or -oA).

Second, we recently got some updated Apple hardware, so we'll be able to
test on a system other than the build system, which should eliminate a lot
of the path-dependency bugs we're hitting currently. I will personally be
setting this up and doing a full audit and overhaul of the Zenmap build and
packaging process in the coming weeks. If this effort is productive, I
expect we'll do a bugfix release specifically to address these issues well
before the next stable point release.
