Hello everyone,

The list has been down for a couple weeks, but I am pleased to announce
that we are back up now.  I will soon send some of the messages posted
during that time.  Also I had to manually subscribe about 550 people who
attempted to subscribe while the list was broken.  You guys won't receive
the normal welcome-to-the-list-here-is-how-it-works mail, but you can send
a blank message to nmap-hackers-help () insecure org to receive similar
information.

I have released Nmap V. 2.11 .  It is available in the normal formats at
http://www.insecure.org/nmap/ .  Here are the most important changes:

- -- Many new fingerprints added.  I received more than 300 submissions
   between this release and the last one.

- -- Fixed IRIX problems which prevented OS scanning from working on
   that platform.  The problem was researched and solution found by
   Lamont Granquist <lamontg () u washington edu>.  You can also thank
   him for porting nmap to almost every UNIX around.

- -- Added support for '-m -' to redirect machine readable logs to
   stdout for shell pipelining, etc.  I also changed machine readable
   output to show service names now that we use a nmap specific
   services file rather than /etc/services.  These features were
   suggested by Dan Farmer.  You can also thank him for SATAN (the
   auditing tool).

- -- Fixed a link-list bug that could cause hangs in UDP,FIN,NULL, and
   XMAS scans.  Also fixed a pointer problem that could cause SIGSEGV.
   These problem were discovered and tracked down by Ben Laurie
   <ben () algroup co uk>.  You can also thank him for Apache, OpenSSL,
   and Apache-SSL.

- -- Fixed installation problem for people without a /usr/local/man/man1
   directory.  Found by Jeffrey Robertson <a-jeffro () microsoft com>.
   I guess you can thank him for Win98 ;).

- -- Several other little fixes to the installation script and minor
   scanner tweaks.

As always, let me know if you encounter problems!

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
community.  --Mitch Stone on Microsoft ActiveX
