Package: nmap
Version: 4.00-2
Severity: normal
nmap requires working DNS even when specifiing target by IP:
$ sudo nmap -sS -O 192.168.100.1
Starting Nmap 4.00 ( http://www.insecure.org/nmap/ ) at 2006-05-30 19:56 CEST
Unable to determine any DNS servers. Try using --system_dns or specify valid
servers with --dns_servers
QUITTING!
Sounds like-overzealous sanity check, anyway. Once the host is determined to be
a domain name, why not just attempting to resolve it using the standard library
calls instead?
