From e1e50c819da937a46ada02573c0ffc717ae41d31 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: david Date: Sat, 26 Mar 2011 06:48:36 +0000 Subject: [PATCH] CHANGELOG: o Nmap no longer searches for data files (like nmap-services) in the current directory as a last resort. This is to reduce the chance of accessing an unexpected file in case the system-installed data files are not found. The main reason for searching the current directory was to support running ./nmap from a source directory. This is now supported by searching the directory containing the Nmap executable for data files. On non-Windows platforms, the executable directory followed by "../share/nmap" is also searched. Thanks to Solar Designed for implementation advice.
