However, running as a normal user, it works as expected.This is probably not an error related to NetBSD, but to the routing table on this particular host. Please send in the output of "nmap --iflist". Some bugs related to routing were fixed recently and aren't yet in an official release, and this might be affecting you.I compiled nmap from pkgsrc on the same Mac, and then I get the same errors as on NetBSD. (Could it be due to that pkgsrc relies on libpcap and pcre from the pkgsrc tree.) nmap-5.21 -> libpcap-1.0.0nb2 System-independent interface for user-level packet capture pcre-8.00 Perl Compatible Regular Expressions library I also compiled the SVN version (in pkgsrc on NetBSD), and it fails the same way as before: bash-4.0# ./work/nmap-5.22/nmap --iflist Starting Nmap 5.21 ( http://nmap.org ) at 2010-03-23 18:52 CET INTERFACES: NONE FOUND(!)

"INTERFACES: NONE FOUND(!)" is definitely the error here. That's not expected. Give me some time to think more about what might be causing it. The first thing I can think of offhand is to check the permissions on the /dev/bpf devices. $ ls -l /dev/bpf* Also send the output of "netstat -rn". That will be the routing table as it's supposed to be. You only need to send the "Internet" part, not the "Internet6" part.
