You can integrate Network Mapper (Nmap) scanners (version 3.83 to 4.20) with
STRM. Since certain types of Nmap port scans require Nmap to be run as root,
STRM must have access as root or you must operate the Nmap binary with setuid
root. For assistance, contact your system administrator.
STRM uses SSH to communicate with a remote server (the scanner server) and
executes the nmap binary on that server.
This chapter includes information on managing your Nmap scanner including:
