Are you running nmap under vmware?
Or are you speaking of running it on the system that has vmware installed on
it?
Take care,

I'm not sure if this is the right place to report this, so apologies in
advance if it isn't.
For some reason, after installing VMWare Fusion Beta3 (the current beta for
mac users), nmap will not run as root:
> garrett$ sudo nmap localhost
> Starting Nmap 4.20 ( http://insecure.org ) at 2007-04-29 19:06 MDT
> getinterfaces: Failed to open ethernet interface (vmnet8). A possible
> cause on BSD operating systems is running out of BPF devices (see
> http://seclists.org/lists/nmap-dev/2006/Jan-Mar/
> 0014.html).
> QUITTING!
However, if run as a non-root user, it works fine:
> garrett$ nmap localhost
> Starting Nmap 4.20 ( http://insecure.org ) at 2007-04-29 19:16 MDT
> Interesting ports on localhost (127.0.0.1)
I'm not sure if this is nmap using the wrong interface, or vmware breaking
raw sockets or just what is going on, so I've posted this bug to both
parties. However, since this is a mailing-list, I'll hopefully be getting
some feedback from here =)
