problems with queso

[Kinjana]

Hi --

If you have never used queso it's a clever little utility used to determine what operating system is running on a remote system. -- it requires access to raw sockets so you need root privilges to run it.

I just installed debian on my new computer and apt-get'd queso --

problem is that any sytem i try to queso comes back as being an "IBM AIX4"

Now I tend to doubt that gnu.org, valinux.com, debian.org, redhat.com are all running IBMs AIX. On my own lan it works fine, and when I queso the other linux box or the MSWindows machine I get back the correct OS -- but anything on the other side of the DSL router comes back as AIX --

Any thoughts?

I haven't used queso, but have you tried nmap? It does OS detection as well as a variety of port scanning techniques.
