It might be a bit lame, but I just thought I'd point out (as it caught
me out!) that there's a new nmap.prints in this release which is
somewhat changed/updated from the previous versions...

My configuration didn't like it at all, although it was largely a case
of lines like:
set x personality "Solaris 2.5, 2.5.1"
suddenly acquiring a manufacturer, like so:
set x personality "Sun Solaris 2.5, 2.5.1"

Alright, it's probably blindingly obvious to most, but it caused me a
few minutes of fun!

...

p.s. Thanks again to Niel and all for the great work on honeyd!
