ip poller issue

[Nobody/Anonymous]

When running the command line poller, I get the following error so the ip range is not updated.

Error
Invalid character in  host specification.  Note in particular that square bracke
ts [] are no longer allowed.  They were redundant and can simply be removed.
QUITTING!

Does anyone know why this is and how to correct it

Thanks

line 163 in ipplan-poller.php looks as follows:

     $nmap = `$NMAP $NMAP_CMD - $range`;

Just after this line add

     echo $nmap;

Run the poller manually and send the the full nmap command line that fails - the one echoed above. Note that one nmap command will be generated per ip address range specified in the -f file specified on the ipplan-poller.php command line.

Thanks.. I saw the error using the added line as directed.

I thougt Nmap help said I could use the format

Nmap 4.20 ( http://insecure.org )
Usage: nmap [Scan Type(s)] [Options] {target specification}
TARGET SPECIFICATION:
  Can pass hostnames, IP addresses, networks, etc.
  Ex: scanme.nmap.org, microsoft.com/24, 192.168.0.1; 10.0.0-255.1-254

so I used 10.1.10.1-255 etc etc in the file for the IP range. I changed this to 10.1.10.0/24 etc etc and this worked fine

Thanks
