RE: Network Discovery & Asset Management Tools

["MARTIN M. Bénoni" <benoni_martin () hotmail com>]

I was thinking about freewares as bigBrother or Nagios to do that. For 
example with BB, I create a perl script which scans periodically the network 
looking for new machines. but the restriction is that a machine, to be 
discovered and labelled "up" has to have at least one port open.

Drop me a mail if you wish the script!
