You guys should really be posting this on the nmap-hackers/nmap-dev
lists.
What version of nmap are you running? What OS and patch set?
One very key question is are you running any transparent caching proxy
servers? If so, your results will be incorrect.

Subject: nmap showing port 21 (ftp) open, but port is actually closed
Has anyone ever seen this before, nmap is showing port 21 to be open on
a machine on the internet, but 21 is not listening on that machine. It
happens to all machines I scan outside the local area network.
Thanks in advance
