verbose option not showing "down" hosts on regular scans

["Nielsen, Steve" <SNielsen () comscore com>]

Hi,

I just was testing out the new newest version of nmap (3.81) and noticed that it does not report hosts that are down 
for "normal" portscans in verbose mode.

This is the behaviour I am talking about. This worked as of nmap 3.00 (which we currently use in production):

nmap 2.3 BETA21:
o Added "Host: [machinename] (ip) Status: Down" to machine logs when
  the verbose option is given (just like down hosts are reported to
  stdout when verbose is given).  Suggested by Alek Komarnitsky.

Here is a possible patch to remedy the problem for 3.81:

diff -u -r nmap-3.81/nmap.cc nmap-3.81.orig/nmap.cc
--- nmap-3.81/nmap.cc   2005-04-25 07:00:22.711349256 -0500
+++ nmap-3.81.orig/nmap.cc  2005-02-07 02:52:52.000000000 -0600

    }
       }

-      if (o.verbose || o.pingscan || o.listscan) {
+      if (o.pingscan || o.listscan) {
    /* We're done with the hosts */
    log_write(LOG_XML, "<host>");
    write_host_status(currenths, resolve_all);

Thanks!
Steve
