Description Henry Gebhardt 2009-04-24 12:19:14 UTC

If none of gksu, kdesu, kde4su, ktsuss, or sudo are installed, then starting "Zenmap (as root)" from the start menu fails.

This occurrs with both nmap versions in portage right now (4.76 and 4.85_beta7).

The fix is to change the upper case "C" in line 48 of /usr/share/zenmap/su-to-zenmap.sh to lower case.

Thanks,
Henry
