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

["Sina Bahram" <sbahram () nc rr com>]

I downloaded it from that location ... Thanks

I thought the release was repackaged with that file included, but apparently
that's not the case.

In other words, I thought alpha3 had that file in it.

Anyways, it seems to be working now.

Take care,
Sina

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.
