Hi

Attempt to scan a network with any method except plain ping results in an error:

truss nmap -sT -p 21 '172.19.17.*' [...] sendto(0x4,0x8094200,0,0x0,{ AF_INET 172.19.17.0:0 },0x10) ERR#49 'Can't assign requested address' [...]

use "172.19.17.0-255" and not ' .*'

Do I have all my boxes broken, or should I rebuild kernel with some options, or does nmap be known not to work on FreeBSD?

nmap works just fine on FreeBSD - both 4.x and 5.x

respectfully /per pe@xterm.dk
