Hi All, "#" is my "root" prompt and "$" is my user prompt. Question: why does namp sometimes work as root and not as a user? Why no warning that a command has to be run as root? This works as root: # nmap -p T:5020,5900 192.168.202.210 Starting Nmap 6.40 ( http://nmap.org ) at 2013-10-04 14:25 PDT Nmap scan report for 192.168.202.210 Host is up (0.00063s latency). PORT STATE SERVICE 5020/tcp filtered zenginkyo-1 5900/tcp filtered vnc Same command does not work as a user: $ nmap -p T:5020,5900 192.168.202.210 Starting Nmap 6.40 ( http://nmap.org ) at 2013-10-04 14:25 PDT Note: Host seems down. If it is really up, but blocking our ping probes, try -Pn Many thanks, -T -- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Computers are like air conditioners.
