This is a test packaging of Nmap and Zenmap for Mac OS X.
|
||||
|
||||
We are distributing this in the hope of creating a really great
|
||||
distribution of Nmap and Zenmap on the Mac, and for that we need your
|
||||
help. Please try it out and send comments and suggestions to
|
||||
nmap-dev@insecure.org.
|
||||
|
||||
This package does not come with Nmap itself. Zenmap and Nmap may be
|
||||
bundled together in the future depending on what users recommend. You
|
||||
need to install Nmap separately. Make sure it is in your system PATH;
|
||||
see below. Please write nmap-dev@insecure.org if you have an idea for a
|
||||
good way to package Nmap and Zenmap together.
|
||||

||||
Known issues:

Zenmap doesn't run as root. I haven't found a convenient way to run it

@@ -19,16 +13,4 @@ as root. You can do it by peeking inside the application bundle:
|

But there has to be a better way. Please write nmap-dev@insecure.org if

you have suggestions.

/usr/local/bin is not in the default PATH. As mentioned above, currently
|
||||
you have to install Nmap separately. When Nmap is compiled from source,
|
||||
by default it is installed in /usr/local/bin. But /usr/local/bin is
|
||||
*not* in the default OS X PATH! You will see an error in Zenmap:
|
||||
"[Errno 2] No such file or directory". I don't recommend installing Nmap
|
||||
with a prefix of /usr, but you can make a symbolic link from
|
||||
/usr/bin/nmap to /usr/local/bin/nmap and it will work fine.
|
||||
|
||||
Running the application from a directory whose name contains a space
|
||||
fails. The wrapper scripts necessary to package GTK+ and Pango need to
|
||||
carefully escape paths in the files they write.
