Testic:

At configure?!? I didn't even change configure (as indicated by my patch,
which doesn't contain any differences for that file). Does nmap-3.30 work
for you? (If it does then there's something incredibly weird going on, and
I'd like to see a better error message than "it got stuck", which doesn't
really indicate anything.) In general if you can't compile the original
program, you won't be able to compile patches against it that add features.
:)

The general gist of what nmap+V is that I added functionality to not only
tell you that port 75 is open and normally running something called
"priv-dial" (whatever that is), but that it's actually responding to SMTP
and running a copy of Sendmail 8 for whatever weird reason. It does this by
connecting to the ports, reading back responses, and possibly sending
initial packets / commands to the port (for things like SSL that don't
respond unless you handshake correctly).

From an announcement about it on nmap-hackers about a month and a half ago
(which had links if you want more information):

I'm lazy, so rather than come up with a new description, I'm just going to
link to some of my old ones :).

Oh, and for people who were wondering about various builds, I almost have it
working on Visual Studio 6, I have it working on 2.96 of gcc (and will try
to find a copy of 2.95 to test with), and know about a few silly mistakes
for OS/X that are being worked on. New version in a few days that deals with
all of these plus a bunch of little "thank you"s to various people who
helped. :)

What is this +V thing anyway? I tried to compile it underLinux but it
stuck
at the ./configure stage.
