When nmap is run against a remote network host, as root, it will
consistently return the message:

 sendto in send_tcp_raw: sendto(3, packet, 40, 0, XXX.XX.XX.XX, 16) => No rout\
        e to host

But when run without root privileges, it works fine.  
  (Therefore the routing table is fine... there is a default route.
  I tried adding a host specific route, it did not help).

nmap will also work fine if run as root, but with a destination host on
my local network.

In order to get to a remote network, I must pass through my high speed
Internet circuit, which uses PPPoE (ppp and Netgraph).
  (I do security consultant work, really!)

This used to work fine, but since Dec 30 when I cvsup'd a new version of
FreeBSD 4.2-stable (*default release=cvs tag=RELENG_4) it has stopped
working.  I ran another cvsup/build world Jan 18, 2001, and things still
do not work correctly.


One difference between a ktrace of root/no root is that the root
version has this in the trace:

 10128 nmap     CALL  open(0x8066f2c,0,0x1b6)
 10128 nmap     NAMI  "/proc/net/route"
 10128 nmap     RET   open -1 errno 2 No such file or directory

But the non-root version has no /proc/net call.  I do not see any
reference to /proc/net/ anywhere.

There does not seem to be much in the ktrace which relates to the call.
 10128 nmap     CALL  socket(0x2,0x3,0xff)
 10128 nmap     RET   socket 3
 10128 nmap     CALL  setsockopt(0x3,0xffff,0x20,0xbfbfc55c,0x4)
 10128 nmap     RET   setsockopt 0
[...]
 10128 nmap     CALL  setsockopt(0x3,0,0x2,0xbfbfc378,0x4)
 10128 nmap     RET   setsockopt 0
 10128 nmap     CALL  sendto(0x3,0x8076080,0x28,0,0xbfbfc480,0x10)
 10128 nmap     RET   sendto -1 errno 65 No route to host
 10128 nmap     CALL  write(0x2,0xbfbfbbc8,0x56)
 10128 nmap     GIO   fd 2 wrote 86 bytes
       "sendto in send_tcp_raw: sendto(3, packet, 40, 0, 206.47.73.74, 16) => No rout\
        e to host"

Any ideas what can be done to make this functionality work again?
