Use groups.google.com and learn before applying this nonsensical fix.

you haven't a clue how to recompile a kernel and yet you are fretting about
minor threats from an nmap fingerprint.

Tweaking the timeouts to obfuscate the fingerprint will do SFA to protect
you if any of the following

22/tcp open ssh
23/tcp closed telnet
80/tcp open http
2222/tcp open unknown
8888/tcp closed sun-answerbook

are incorrectly configured and/or have bugs allowing code to be executed
remotely.
