Spot on :)

Isn't this one in an FAQ somewhere by now, seeing as no-one ever reads the
rather good nmap man page.

I haven't checked but last time I looked the TTL will be different with RSTs
sent from iptables rather than those sent because there's no listener on the
port.  There are ways around this too, depends how invisible you want to
be...
