Hi there,

I tried to scan my system with nmap.It produces a message in
/var/log/messages.
Here is the output:

hostname kernel : nmap use obsolute (PF_INET,SOCK_PACKET) .

By the way, what does it mean anyway?Is there a possiblities to block?

regards and thank you,

maher

it just means what it says: the program nmap uses an obsolete option to
open a networking socket. it should not worry you and there is of course
no way and no need to block this ;o)
