Hello, Whilst playing with Nmap I tried to scan my computer using the -A switch to which I received this error: $ nmap -v -A localhost Starting Nmap 5.51 ( http://nmap.org ) at 2011-08-23 23:48 CDT NSE: Loaded 57 scripts for scanning. Initiating Ping Scan at 23:48 Scanning localhost (127.0.0.1) [2 ports] Completed Ping Scan at 23:48, 0.00s elapsed (1 total hosts) Initiating Connect Scan at 23:48 Scanning localhost (127.0.0.1) [1000 ports] Discovered open port 25/tcp on 127.0.0.1 Discovered open port 8010/tcp on 127.0.0.1 Completed Connect Scan at 23:48, 0.06s elapsed (1000 total ports) InitMatch: illegal regexp on line 118 of nmap-service-probes (at regexp offset 25): POSIX collating elements are not supported QUITTING! I thought the problem was from my distro (ArchLinux), and downloaded a copy of the stable release, decompress it and did a diff of the two files (/usr/share/nmap/nmap-service-probes ~/nmap-5.51/nmap-service-probes) and I received no output, assuming that means they are the same. I even tried to move the file and backup Arch's version but I get the same error. Just thought I would give you a heads-up, I tried googling but nothing came up so I have come to you guys. I wish I knew what was going on to at *least* give you a patch. -- Heimdal _______________________________________________ Sent through the nmap-dev mailing list http://cgi.insecure.org/mailman/listinfo/nmap-dev Archived at http://seclists.org/nmap-dev/
