Hi out there, first sorry for rewarming this old thread! :-) But I found something usefull that makes nmap work with root-rights on SuSE 9.0: http://seclists.org/lists/nmap-dev/2003/Oct-Dec/0086.html Here is an interesting update from Richard Moore on the problems with Nmap on Suse 9.0. Apparently a workaround is to set HAVE_IP_IP_SUM in nbase/nbase_config.h in the source tree to zero after you run ./configure but before "make". Hopefully a better solution allowing Nmap to automatically detect and work around the issue will become available. I did modify the config.h in the main build directory instead of the nbase/ nbase_config.h with nmap 3.48 because there seems to be the primary definition of HAVE_IP_IP_SUM. I haven't diged what this does or what it breaks, but nmap does run with root-rights. On Montag, 10. November 2003 20:01, Sven 'Darkman' Michels wrote:
Hi there,
afaig (as far as i googled ;) others had reported the problem with 9.0 and nmap already, but noone has a solution right now. On 9.0 no nmap i know does work. I tried multiple boxes with 9.0 with no success. A fresh builded nmap doesn't work, too. The same nmap sourcecode on other distro's and SuSE's works. Ok, nmap doesn't work isn't correctly, it 'works': Doing a nmap localhost as $user isn't a problem, scan completed in < 1 sec. su - and nmap again -> fails: Note: Host seems down. If it is really up, but blocking our ping probes, try -P0 Nmap run completed -- 1 IP address (0 hosts up) scanned in 36.408 seconds
ok, all will now say: 'do what nmap said..' but that isn't a solution. nmap will run then, but doesn't give any output (it's running a few minutes now). A firewall isn't installed and manual ping localhost as root works.
So anyone can say something about it? A solution would be nice cause many ppl on this list may use nmap ;)
