Nmap Hackers: RE: Nmap-2.00 doesn't recognize SSH?

nmap uses /etc/services as a cross-reference for open ports.  It's not nmap
that doesn't know ssh.  It's your system.

you need to add this line to your /etc/services file (assuming you have access
to edit that file):

ssh             22/tcp          # Secure Shell Login
