This is the default and can be omitted. Seeing as the value of this
argument was "hardmatched" in 100% of cases, we're better off pretending
the parameter doesn't exist.

fixed bug in ms-sql-hasdbaccess that would occur if no rows were returned

socket:connect(host.ip, port.number)
socket:connect(host.ip, port.number, port.protocol)
to this:
socket:connect(host, port)
connect can take host and port tables now, and the default protocol is
taken from the port table if possible.
top of the first comment, so the entire description got stuffed into the
@author field. I also discovered a limitation in the NSEDoc parser: the
first non-empty line following the first --- comment must be the
"module" call, or else the block isn't recognized as belonging to a
module. This was preventing @args from appearing in certain libraries.
Djalal Harouni told me about this.
qscan.delay
dns-fuzz.timelimit
mssql.timelimit
A side effect is that the default units for qscan.delay are seconds, not
milliseconds. 0 is now the magic value to disable the time limit in
dns-fuzz.
scripts are:
- ms-sql-brute.nse uses the unpwdb library to guess credentials for MSSQL
- ms-sql-config retrieves various configuration details from the server
- ms-sql-empty-password checks if the sa account has an empty password

- ms-sql-query add support for running custom queries against the database
