Removing the version check for readme.gentoo_print_elog means that only users installing nmap for the first time will see the message and existing users won't. This is a very poor user experience. I really don't care that 9999 users miss the message, but users who upgrade into an fcaps capable version should get this message. Please restore the version check with appropriate versions.
I'll consider that when I'm done checking whether you opened a security hole. Right now it looks like any user can do privileged stuff with --privileged set. We may end up reverting your work instead of fine-tuning when messages are sent out.
I have removed the security hole you introduced. If you have any further ideas on security related features on netmon packages, then I expect you to show patches, not commits.

Please note, I intentionally didn't put the work into a keyworded version of nmap due to this concern. An amount of discretion we don't seem to share. https://sources.gentoo.org/cgi-bin/viewvc.cgi/gentoo-x86/net-analyzer/nmap/nmap-6.47-r3.ebuild?revision=1.1&view=markup Perhaps we both could be more careful next time.
