So are you going to write the code then?  If you do, I will certainly put
it in the "nmap related projects" portion of the web page so that you and
anyone else who wants this capability can have it.  And if it is clean
I'll consider it adding it to the main source tree.

Remember we are not talking about Microsoft Word or NAI's CyberCop or
Internet Security Scanner where you have to beg the vendor for new
features.  You all have the code and can make it do whatever you feel is
worth the effort to put in.  You are even at liberty to distribute your
own version of nmap which has all your favority features.  All development
tools you need to do this are completely free.

Thus I won't accept any more posts arguing for ARP scanning which don't
include (or point to) relevant C code.

Cheers,
Fyodor

In a free and open marketplace, it would be surprising to have such an
obviously flawed standard generate much enthusiasm outside of the criminal
