macOS fixes

Tool detection in .app bundles

sshpass, nmap and snmpget installed via Homebrew were silently ignored when running NMLinux as a .app bundle. macOS app bundles do not inherit the Homebrew PATH (/opt/homebrew/bin on Apple Silicon, /usr/local/bin on Intel). The fix: probe those directories explicitly at startup and use the absolute path when calling these tools as subprocesses.

Install via Homebrew if not already done:

:::bash
brew install hudochenkov/sshpass/sshpass   # or: brew install esolitos/ipa/sshpass
brew install nmap
brew install net-snmp   # provides snmpget

Update procedure on macOS (no pip / pipx required)

:::bash
cd ~/path/to/nmlinux
git pull
bash packaging/install_macos_app.sh

The script manages its own isolated venv at ~/.local/share/nmlinux/venv — no system-level pip or pipx needed.


What was fixed in v1.5.2 (included here)

Asset Inventory (new 29th module)

  • Scans a CIDR range and collects OS, CPU, RAM, disk, uptime via SSH / WinRM / SNMP / Nmap
  • Multiple credential sets per protocol — scanner tries each in order per host
  • Zero-retention: credentials never written to disk, cleared from memory after scan
  • Export: JSON / CSV / Markdown
  • Dashboard: animated world map in the IP Geolocation section

SSH collection fixes (Linux, macOS, NAS)

Issue Fix
Disk empty on Linux awk quoting error → now parses df output in Python
RAM empty on Synology free -h unsupported on BusyBox → use plain free, parse KB in Python
Synology shows system partition Try /volume1 before /
Unraid shows USB boot stick Try /mnt/user, /mnt/disk1 before /
macOS: OS field empty cat /etc/os-release \| tr exits 0 on empty input, blocking sw_vers → dedicated macOS branch using sw_vers \| awk
macOS: CPU empty on Apple Silicon machdep.cpu.brand_string absent → fallback to sysctl hw.model
macOS: Disk shows system partition APFS: / is a snapshot → use /System/Volumes/Data
df \| tail -1 \|\| … false-success tail exits 0 on empty input → replaced with test -d <path> && df …
lsb_release output has quotes Some distros wrap output in "…" → strip with tr -d '"'
Multiple passwords per network SSH and WinRM now support multiple credential sets in the UI
