That is a good idea on an individual basis to get Nmap, but it sort of
defautes the purpose our our distributing RPMs in the first place.  If
our RPMs don't work for all/most people on that platform, we should
see what we can do to fix it.  Fedora 12 is the latest release of one
of the most popular Linux distributions, so surely many people here
are running it.  Can someone (or 3) try the following and send the
full output to nmap-dev?

# Check your platform info (feel free to X-out the hostname)
uname -a 
# Grab Nmap
rpm -vhU http://nmap.org/dist/nmap-5.21-1.i386.rpm
# Make sure nscd is not running (fail is OK here, it might already be off)
service nscd stop
# Try Nmap
nmap -sP test1.nmap.org
# Start ncsd
service nscd start
# Try Nmap again
nmap -sP test2.nmap.org

Thanks,
