Hi,
I tested Nmap 5.21 on Oracle Solaris 11 and found that it only
apparently works.
Actually, many different scan sessions (with different options and
targets) got wrong results.
For ex., the following scan is related to a host with 22/tcp (SSH) and
111/tcp (rpcbind) open;
however the two services are not detected. Morever, turning off the -PN
option results in
an host apparently blocking up ping probes. This is not the case, instead.
# nmap -A 172.16.3.42

Note: Host seems down. If it is really up, but blocking our ping probes,
try -PN
Nmap done: 1 IP address (0 hosts up) scanned in 3.60 seconds
# nmap -PN -A 172.16.3.42
