Ahhhh! Sorry, did not mention it: I always got this message.  I always got
this message since the first time I tried the scan. I always wondered by it
tought my subnet is 127.0.01.   Now I think I know why it works for me
for 130.183.74 (my subnet) and other subnets.

ach@lost(0) ~ $ head -2  /etc/hosts
127.0.0.1       localhost lost
130.183.74.25   lost.exgal.mpe.mpg.de

Looks like the ip address of the hostname 'lost' is lookup up and
used as default for scanning

  To me vi is Zen.  To use vi is to practice zen. Every command is
  a koan. Profound to the user, unintelligible to the uninitiated.
  You discover truth everytime you use it.
