Nmap Development: Re: Can't find OS db file: Maybe a larger problem?

["赵雷" <zhaolei () gmail com>]

There was once an alpha3 release which doesn't contain the db file.
You can also download the db file at
http://www.insecure.org/nmap/data/nmap-os-db and put it in the path
nmap showes.

Best Regards,
Zhao Lei
