Thanks Steve!  I'm glad to see more people using Ncrack.  But does
ncrack-services really need to be in /etc/ rather than the Ncrack data
dir?  I have the Fedora Nmap package installed
(nmap-5.00-1.fc11.x86_64) and it installs nmap-services in
/usr/share/nmap.  That is consistent with what Ncrack is trying to do
with ncrack-services.  My Fedora 11 /usr/share contains several
hundred application-specific directories like this.

Regarding changes like this:

Perhaps we can try to modify it to work in both cases
(e.g. "compiled-in location such as /usr/local/share/ncrack or
/usr/share/ncrack") so that Fedora doesn't have to carry an extra
patch which might get messed up and require hand merging when we make
significant changes to the docs.

Also, keep in mind that Ncrack is still in version 0.01ALPHA, but
Ithilgore is making great headway toward a new release.

Cheers,
