Nmap Development: Re: Running NMAP as a non root user - patch

Re: Running NMAP as a non root user - patch

I wonder how a chown root nmap; chmod +s nmap; installation would be a
security risk (given that nmap doesn't have a large vulnerability
records (that am I aware of)). Any comments on this?

Best regards.
