If i run nmap in a loop and grep my real running services out, it showed me the funniest services running on my system. Try something like this: for i in $(seq 100); do nmap <myhost> | grep "^[0-9]"; done You can pipe the output through some 'grep -v PATTERN' to filter the PATTERNs (real running services) out. I guess it is a bug in this version, because i couldn't reproduce it with the newest version. moritz -- /* Moritz Schulte <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> * http://hp9001.fh-bielefeld.de/~moritz/ * PGP-Key available, encrypted Mail is welcome. */
