there's also a small patch to services.c to ignore a couple of protocol types sometimes found in /etc/services that nmap doesn't handle (reducing the number of complaints when running it with a few -d's). i'd also like to suggest that you distribute the "massive" services file that i've been maintaining for a year or so at http://www.graffiti.com/services as the nmap-services file.
Not necessarily a good or desireable thing. Even with the not-so-complete nmap services file, I usually find it reporting on services that aren't really running, simply because they're above 1023, or because someone decided to run a non-"standard" service on a privledged port. In fact, I'd almost like to see all the services on non-privledged ports be removed from the services file nmap uses. At least all except 6660-6670, 8000, 8080, 12345, and other such common or critically important high ports. Idealy nmap would have a module to verify each servce it finds, so that (for example) an open port 443 wouldn't be reported as ssl / http if it isn't acting like a websserver. Justin
