during the review of ncrack (https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=523199) I noticed that the file ncrack-services is placed in /usr/share/ncrack by default. Since it is a kind of configuration file that contains mappings between port numbers and protocol names (similar to /etc/services), I'm not sure whether the location /usr/share/ncrack is OK or whether it's required to move it to /etc. Here's its content:
Imho it does not need to be moved to /etc, because it should only be edited by experienced users and then the user can specify a the edited file at the commandline.
Neither of which are factors considered by the FHS.
Similarity to /etc/services would recommend it for that. /usr/share is not an awful choice though.
