Yep.  If people are meant to override those defaults by specifying their own
versions in a ~/.ncrack/ file then /usr/share is fine.

I don't know anything about the specifics of ncrack, though -- is it meant to
be run by a user or setup to be run periodically by the system administrator? 
If it's run ad hoc by a user then configuration in a ~/.ncrack file is fine. 
If it's run on a schedule then it's very nice for system administrators to know
that the configuration of services is all in /etc.

Note that many programs which are used as both services and invoked ad hoc (or
even ones that are purely ad hoc, for instance, mutt) do store files like this
in /etc for the system admin to configure while leaving the user to edit dot
files in their home directories when they want to customize their ad hoc usage.
