nmap: no exact OS matches when adding the exact signature to nmap-os-db
I'm currently trying to learn Nmap -O (OS guess feature).
I'm launching the following command: nmap -O 172.17.0.3
This command is generating the following fingerprint as output:
No exact OS matches for host (If you know what OS is running on it, see https://nmap.org/submit/ ).
TCP/IP fingerprint:
OS:SCAN(V=7.70%E=4%D=3/2%OT=8080%CT=1%CU=32738%PV=Y%DS=1%DC=D%G=Y%M=0000BC%

I took the output and formatted it like this:
# Test

SEQ(SP=106%GCD=1%ISR=10B%TI=Z%CI=Z%II=I%TS=A)

IE(R=Y%DFI=N%T=40%CD=S)
And I appended it to the nmap-os-db file. When I re-run nmap was expecting nmap to tell me that the OS recognised was "TestFinger", but I got the same output as in the first run, as if nmap was ignoring the new entry in nmap-os-db. I also tried inserting a random string in the nmap-os-db, in order to check whether nmap was actually using that file, and it was because it was giving me an error.
I'm sure I'm missing something really simple but I'm not able to figure it out, any suggestion?
