I am looking for a port scanning tool (software or hardware, open
source or commercial) that I can configure to run on a regularly
scheduled basis, say
once a week or once a month, for around 500 internal servers and
workstations (Unix/Linux, Windows and Novell).

The goal is to produce a "diff" report that will identify any new
ports that have been opened on any of the servers or workstations from
the previous scan.

This would need to be a completely automatic process that would email
out the results after each scan cycle.

Are there any products that can perform this task?

A friend and I are writing a tool to do this right now; it's called netdiff, and if you'd like to be part of the test group, drop me an email. We're still coding it but should have something relatively shortly.

The focus of our tool is finding both changed hosts *and* changed ports -- so if you have new systems pop up it'll show you, and if you have new ports pop up on existing systems, it'll show you those as well.
