[brlug-general] Scheduled portscans and diffs

[Shannon Roddy]

If it's useful for anyone else, with the right google query, I found this:

http://www.unspecific.com/nmap/

As far as I can tell, it does just what I want it to do.  Should make
keeping up with 8 class C's a bit easier since I'll be able to
establish a benchmark and look at diffs thereafter.
