Re: Nmap 4.20ALPHA1 - New OS Detection System!

[Brandon Enright <bmenrigh () ucsd edu>]

I can't wait to get started testing this.  The code built cleanly but
I'm getting:

./nmap -O 192.168.0.1
OS scan requested but I cannot find nmap-os-db file.  It should be
in /usr/local/share/nmap, ~/.nmap/ or .
QUITTING!

I've looked but I can't find the file either.

Since I'm sure the db file will be evolving rapidly and doing a new
release every time a few signatures are added will be tedious, perhaps
you can make the latest db available online somewhere for us to grab as
it gets updated.
