Nmap Development: Re: Different scan results depending on whether root or unprivileged

["Hans Nilsson" <hasse_gg () ftml net>]

If you only want to find out which hosts are active maybe you should try
with a ping scan? What happens if you do:

sudo nmap -sP xxx.xxx.xxx.0/24
or, more like your example:
sudo nmap --send-ip -sP -T4 -PS:22,23,80,135,513,514 -PU:161
xxx.xxx.xxx.0/24
