Nmap 2.54BETA24 released

[Fyodor <fyodor () insecure org>]

Hello everyone,

I am happy to announce that Nmap 2.54BETA24 is now available.  This
version fixes a few bugs and solves many portability issues that
people have reported.  I'm hoping to release another version within a
week that contains new OS fingerprints.  But don't let that prevent
you from upgrading now if you have time.

Is anyone interested in linking to the Nmap page from your web sites
(hint hint!)?  You'll be happy to note that Kyra
(kyralea () tranquility net) has submitted a slew of cool banners at
http://www.insecure.org/nmap/index.html#propaganda .  My favorite is
"Psst... Your Ports are Showing!" :).  You are all welcome and
encouraged to show your support for the project by linking to the Nmap
page.

Here are the CHANGELOG entries:

-- Fixed compilation problems on MacOS X publis release.  Thanks to
   Nicolas Dawson (nizcolas () myrealbox com) for securing an account for
   me.

-- On the suggestion of the ever-helpful LaMont Jones (lamont () hp com),
   I obtained the newest config.guess/config.sub from
   http://subversions.gnu.org/cgi-bin/cvsweb/config and made
   libpcap/nbase use symlinks rather than copeis of the file

-- Applied patch from LaMont Jones (lamont () hp com) which makes Nmap
   compatable with gcc 3.0 (apparently printf() is a macro in that
   version)

-- Applied patch from Colin Phipps (cph () netcraft com) which fixes a
   problem that kept UDP RPC scanning from working unless you were
   also doing a TCP scan.

-- Applied a patch from Chris Eagle (cseagle () redshift com) which fixes
   Windows compilation (I broke it with a recent change).

-- Updated Lithuanian translation of man page based on a newer version
   sent by Aurimas Mikalauskas (inner () crazy lt)

-- Killed carriage returns in nmap.c and nmapfe.c, which caused
   problems for some (SGI) compilers.  Problem noted by Artur
   Niederstebruch (artur () sgi com)

-- Updated to latest version of rpc program number list, maintained by
   Eilon Gishri (eilon () aristo tau ac il)

-- Fixed a quoting bug in the Nmap man page found by
   Rasmus Andersson <rasmus () pole-position org>

-- Applied RPM spec file changes from "Benjamin Reed"
   (ranger () befunk com) which allows you to avoid building the frontend
   by adding "--define frontend 0" to the build command (eg --rebuild,
   --ba, etc).

For those of you running Linux/x86 w/a recent version of rpm
(www.rpm.org), you can install/upgrade to the newest version of
nmap/nmapfe with these commands:

rpm -vhU (nmap url)
where (nmap url) is one (or both) of these:

http://www.insecure.org/nmap/dist/nmap-2.54BETA24-1.i386.rpm
http://www.insecure.org/nmap/dist/nmap-frontend-0.2.54BETA24-1.i386.rpm

source tarballs and source RPMs are always available at:
http://www.insecure.org/nmap/#download

For the more paranoid (smart) members of the list, here are the md5
hashes:

a904b4fe2cedf6019ed3c03178d231d9  nmap-2.54BETA22-1.i386.rpm

[ Yes, I should really GPG sign this email too ]

Please let me know if you find any problems.

Cheers,
Fyodor
