I'm having the same problem, on OpenBSD 3.1. Reverting to version 1.69 of nmap_wrapper.c fixed the problem for me. see:
http://cvs.nessus.org/cgi-bin/cvsweb.cgi/nessus-plugins/plugins/nmap_wrapper/nmap_wrapper.c You can download the "good" version here: http://cvs.nessus.org/cgi-bin/cvsweb.cgi/~checkout~/nessus-plugins/plugins/nmap_wrapper/nmap_wrapper.c?rev=1.69&content-type=text/plain -----Original Message----- From: Michael Scheidell [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Wednesday, August 14, 2002 9:29 AM To: Michael Scheidell Cc: [EMAIL PROTECTED]; [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: nmap interface broken?

EXCEPT.. there is some plugin that has marked nmap as a dependency and tries to run nmap_wrapper anyway... any idea how far back to go with nmap_wrapper() to fix it?
