Use abacus sentry, it'll detect FIN scans and run a script of your choosing
passing the scanning IP as the first arg.

Following the detection thread, one thing I've been playing with is
having TCP wrappers listening on specific ports, then spawning
various alert scripts when there is a connection (such as an alert
email with src, dest, service and safe_finger).  By listening
on commonly scanned ports (smb,imap,telnet,portmapper, etc) I can
quickly determine if a scan was conducted.  By doing this on several
servers, I can also quickly determine if the network was scanned.

Of course, since I'm using TCP wrappers, it will not detect -sS or
-sF scans.  Not the ultimate soltion, but something I've been 
playing with and having good results.
