Hello all,

Well, I'm running nmap connect().... the problem is with syn scans?

The output of the test script is:
09:15:38.100481 localhost.search-agent > localhost.http: S [bad tcp
cksum fe80!]                                    
 3868:3868(0) win 512 [tos 0x8]  (ttl 255, id 47626, len 40, bad cksum
80f6!)

Hmmm bad checksum...

Hi Troels,

What type of port scan are you using? I suspect that you may indeed have

the problem but not notice it because you're using a CONNECT() port 
scan. Could you run the attached NASL script on your SuSE box, and 
capture the packet using "tcpdump -v" ? That will verify the checksum. 
On my SuSE 9.0 system it is invalid, and this is due to a kernel bug. 
The only solution is to fix the kernel bug (i.e. use a different kernel)

or put a workaround in Nessus. A version of nmap with such a workaround 
already exists.

I would be very interested to see the results.

Regards,

Paul
