I can see that nmap is called with the -I option, when "Get Identd info 
= yes", and a manual nmap scan with the same options produce 2 different

scan-repports?

Which version of Nmap are you running? Ident scan was removed in 3.70
because the core engine was rewritten and this scan type was rarely
used.

% nmap -I localhost
WARNING: identscan (-I) no longer supported.  Ignoring -I

Starting nmap 3.81 ( http://www.insecure.org/nmap/ ) at 2005-02-23 13:23 CET
