I ran the nmap command listed below against one of my 5.1 systems. It didnt seem to have caused any problems. Not only could I still make connections, the existing connections continued to function normally (no freeze-ups). I wouldnt call this a conclusive test, but my system didnt suffer any ill effects. scott >>> "Bob Dog" <bobdogat_private> 01/30/02 12:55PM >>> --- ellipse <ellipticat_private> wrote: >> Today we were using nmap to scan our network and when we scanned our >> Tru64 machines, telnet and ftp froze and timed out.

Would this not be an issue with inetd? Support for 4.0D went away as of about September of '01. Does anyone know if this is an issues with 5.1? Have no box that I want to test this with. _____________________________________________________________ Visit these sites today Blink 182 Fan Site - www.blink182.co.nz NZ Skateboarding - www.nzskate.com
