Nope. 5900 is VNC, 5800 is the helper http service. It should be:

580[1-9] = vnc-http-X
590[1-9] = vnc-X

Are there any plans for MSRPC support, like -sR does SunRPC? And will
nmap eventually (or is there another program, maybe) that will poke a
specific port sending commands and listening for responces to try and
tell what server is running? (Rather then guessing just based on port
number)

I would like to see MSRPC support. OS/Service detection based on 
banner/service detection should stay out of nmap (IMHO). Firewalls which 
forward one port to a unix mail server and a second port to an NT web server 
would throw the system off, you are better off doing this manually anyways. 
Creating a wrapper script to do banner/service checks and guess versions 
shouldn't be too hard.


Keep up the good work,
