Just to complement, I also have seen it happening in non-patched HPUX
servers more or less a year ago...

That's why we have to think twice on running even a "simple" portscan in
production systems... :)

Peace all,

Many thanks for your comments...

For those of you bet on the IP stack problem, you win :)
We redid the scan last weekend to make sure of this.

The problem is more of the limitation of the OS/machine being scanned.
From all the AS/400 machines being scanned, only the 730 machine was
seriously affected by nmap probes.
It automatically assign a user for the TCP/IP connection and started
numerous jobs (which had to be manually ended for them to stop).
The rest of them didn't have this problem -- newer machines and OS-es.

I agree with Jon that networking in this AS/400 is much more like an add-on
after thought :)
And it's pure luck in my opinion that no one before this brought the machine
down (they have a team which also does ports scanning to their production
servers, including this problematic one).
Oh well, at least I learned something new =)

Thanks and Regards,
=adley=

I will put my bet on the crash of IP stacks as well. Those systems
just can't handle the nmap probing packats properly. A very common
scenario is the systems open connections and allocate resources, but
fail to close them properly. I encountered these cases not only on
AS400, some old solaris OS also have similar issues.
