Nmap Announce: Nmap 2.54BETA1 released

[Fyodor <fyodor () insecure org>]

Hello everyone,

I thought Gerhard Rieger's patch was cool enough that I couldn't wait to
make an Nmap release with it included :).  Thus I have released 2.54BETA1
wihch includes protocol scanning and some minor changes I have been
collecting.  Most of the protocol stuff is directly from Gerhard's patch,
I only made minor changes to it.  To test it out try 'nmap -sO somehost'.

Let me know if you find any problems!

Here are the changes:

-- Added an extremely cool scan type by Gerhard Rieger ( rieger at
   iue.tuwien.ac.at ) -- IP Protocol scanning.  Basically it sends a
   bunch of IP headers (no data) with different "protocol" fields to
   the host.  The host then (usually) sends back a protocol
   unreachable for those that it does not support.  By exclusion, nmap
   can make a list of those that are supported.  This is similar in
   concept to (and is implemented using most of the same scanning
   routines as) UDP scanning.  Note that some hosts do not send back
   protocol unreachables -- in that case all protocols will appear
   "open".

-- Fixed an uninitialized variable problem in NmapFE (found by Alvin
   Starr (alvin at iplink.net )

-- Fixed a packaging problem that lead to the Nmap man page being
   included twice in the .tgz .

-- Fixed dangling nroff include in xnmap man page (noted by Debian
   Nmap package maintainer LaMont Jones (lamont () security hp com)

-- Give a warning when no targets at all are specified

-- Updated 'make uninstall' so that it deletes all relevant files

-- Included latest nmap-rpc from Eilon Gishri (eilon at aristo.tau.ac.il)

-- Eliminated -I. from Nmap's and NmapFE's makefiles (suggested by
   "Jay Freeman (saurik)" (saurik at saurik.com)

-- Added Russian documentation by Alex Volkov

-- Added Lithuanian documentation from Aurimas Mikalauskas (inner at
dammit.lt) 

For those of you running Linux/x86 w/rpm (www.rpm.org), you can

commands:
