Nmap Development: verbose option not showing "down" hosts on regular scans

Hi,

I just was testing out the new newest version of nmap (3.81) and noticed that it does not report hosts that are down for "normal" portscans in verbose mode.

This is the behaviour I am talking about. This worked as of nmap 3.00 (which we currently use in production):

nmap 2.3 BETA21:
o Added "Host: [machinename] (ip) Status: Down" to machine logs when
the verbose option is given (just like down hosts are reported to
stdout when verbose is given). Suggested by Alek Komarnitsky.

Here is a possible patch to remedy the problem for 3.81:

diff -u -r nmap-3.81/nmap.cc nmap-3.81.orig/nmap.cc
--- nmap-3.81/nmap.cc 2005-04-25 07:00:22.711349256 -0500
+++ nmap-3.81.orig/nmap.cc 2005-02-07 02:52:52.000000000 -0600
@@ -1035,7 +1035,7 @@
}
}

- if (o.verbose || o.pingscan || o.listscan) {
+ if (o.pingscan || o.listscan) {
    /* We're done with the hosts */
    log_write(LOG_XML, "<host>");
    write_host_status(currenths, resolve_all);

Thanks!
Steve
