Thanks David,

I will work through getting the targets-ipv6-multicast-mld script 
running. Perhaps there is a ubuntu/debian package which the casual user 
of nmap can use to install the script.

But the reason I was requesting that IPv6 scanning using the ff02::1 
method be integrated natively in nmap is to make it available for the 
casual user of nmap. I have used nmap and found it quite useful for over 
13 years, and never ran a nse script. I suspect there is a large 
community of nmap users who are like me.

Having native support within nmap would reach a much larger audience.

thanks again,

Craig...
