I hope I'm sending this to the right place. I've added the mssql.lua library to my NMAP install. When I try to update the database with "nmap --script-updatedb", I get the following: Starting Nmap 5.30BETA1 ( http://nmap.org ) at 2010-07-07 08:27 EDT NSE: Updating rule database. NSE: error while updating Script Database: [string "local nse = ......"]:17: /usr/local/share/nmap/nselib/mssql.lua:116: attempt to call field 'parse_timespec' (a nil value) stack traceback: [C]: in function 'assert' [string "local nse = ......"]:17: in main chunk Any assistance would be appreciated.

Hi Jason, The error your seeing is the result of changes made in regards to how nmap parses time value. The mssql library depends on these changes which were made in the stdnse.lua library. Your best bet is probably to get the subversion release of Nmap in order to run the mssql scripts. There's more information here on how to do so: http://nmap.org/book/install.html#inst-svn Regards, Patrik Karlsson -- Patrik Karlsson http://www.cqure.net http://www.twitter.com/nevdull77 _______________________________________________ Sent through the nmap-dev mailing list http://cgi.insecure.org/mailman/listinfo/nmap-dev Archived at http://seclists.org/nmap-dev/
