To everybody: Be careful to not submit fingerprints generated when scanning through firewalls, NAT devices (on your end!) or load balancers without telling that in the Notes section. I have seen pretty strange variations in the fingerprints caused by such things. Yo Fyodor, this should be mentioned on the submission web page!
Good point. Also, you should only submit "unknown" fingerprints if Nmap gives you the submission URL. If Nmap thinks conditions are too poor for the type of "pristine" fingerprint needed for the official DB, Nmap will not print the URL. If Nmap does give back a guess (as opposed to "unknown") and it is wrong, please email me the full Nmap output and a description of the actual OS and I'll adjust the fingerprint accordingly.
