Discovery Tools.

Hi Folks,

realise that this forum might not be the exact match for this question, so feel free to put it somewhere more apropriate.

I'm currently involved in a project that has gone somewhat pear shaped, just to keep this all short the situation is as follows. I was brought in to manage a migration project, now I'm running the Unix estate - without any local knowledge to fall back on. I have sufficient unix knowledge and can call on windows resource if required, but do have to work within some constraints relating to security.

So the help I'm looking for is a pointer to a discovery tool that will allow me to carry out a full network discovery, on what's up on the network and what it's got open. Any assistance would be appreciated, especially when it comes to tools that will give me an output that I can present to the users - for this crowd "Pictures would be good"!

Regards

Dave

DIAGNOSTICS

       In case of an error, projdel prints an error message and exits with a non-zero status.

NOTES

       projdel deletes a project definition only on the local system. If a network name service such as NIS or LDAP is being  used  to	supplement
       the local /etc/project file with additional entries, projdel cannot change information supplied by the network name service.
