Hi Daniel,

Is it anything to do with this from Engarde?

NetDiff is a network reporting tool written in perl that runs nmap portscans of a specified network
or networks and stores
the results to a MySQL database. It can then report the differences between successive scans,
giving administrators a
snapshot view of recent changes on their network.
This report is very useful for network maintenance and monitoring, it will automatically let you
know when:
o A new host is added to the network.
o A host is shut down or disconnected from the network.
o A service has stopped running.
o A new service port has been opened.
Additionally, if version and OS scanning is enabled, the report will list those differences as well,
telling you if:
o A server daemon was upgraded or patched.
o The hostīs operating system was upgraded or changed.
