Hi,
I've just come across some strange behaviour on pfstatd on openbsd 4.2.
If I run nmap against pfstatd, pfstatd stops. Is this expected behaviour
or a known bug? It seems a bit weak to me for software that should be
running on a firewall. To reproduce it try a straight nmap scan of the
open pfstatd port.
My pfstatd options are:
pfstatd -a <physical_ip_address> -p <custom_port>
then nmap is just a standard scan:
nmap -p <custom_port> -P0 <firewall_ip>
I couldn't see anything in the logs to indicate why pfstatd stopped. I'm
a bit puzzled at the moment why something so simple would cause it to
fall over, so it may be something peculiar to my setup, but I was
wondering has anyone else come across this?
Thanks!
