Hi,
Running multiple nmap executables simultaneously to cover large scopes of machines. I'm receiving after 4 instance the following error.

pcap_open_live(en0, 100, 0, 200) FAILED. Reported error: (no devices found) /dev/bpf4: No such file or directory. Will wait 5 seconds then retry. pcap_open_live(en0, 100, 0, 200) FAILED. Reported error: (no devices found) /dev/bpf4: No such file or directory. Will wait 25 seconds then retry. Call to pcap_open_live(en0, 100, 0, 200) failed three times. Reported error: (no devices found) /dev/bpf4: No such file or directory

There is only 4 of these /dev/bpf[0-3]

AIX libpcap 9.8-2 seems to create these when it's loaded. Is there some way to configure it to create more of these ?

I've tried mknod with no luck and there is no MAKEDEV

Thanks.
