Not yet...but tonight was supposed to be the night that we would see a
second wave of Nimda traffic.  The time that was being speculated was
1:00am.  So far, I've only found one machine on my network scanning and
that was about 8:00pm.

Have you seen any scans from within your own IP space yet?

B as of the last hour or so.

Anyone else?
