Yes I agree, I've always gone to insecure.org for nmap releases as the
Fedora/CentOS ones are usually quite far behind, plus its nice to
download the RPM's once, rather than via YUM for every machine.

I spoke to the F12 packager and he is going to make official 5.21 RPM's
on Monday, he did say that all F-nn RPM's are compiled on F-nn machines,
so I fear the fix is to move your build environment to Fedora.

There are already working RPM's here, backported from F13 I believe:

Also, nscd is disabled by default in Fedora, so you couldn't even say
that was a caveat.
