My netstat doesn't accept a -tupan parameter.  However, I have 
tried the other netstat options and I am not impressed.  It appears 
(my version, anyway) not to list open ports until they are actually
accessed.  This is not much use for determining which ports are
open *before* cracker accesses.

I'm finding the 'scan' routine from BasicLinux much more useful.

Cheers,
