Tim,
Depending on what you are using for concentrators/switches you might find the SNMP "new node" trap very useful for this particular application. This seems to work better than ARP table scans. We used these traps to execute a procedure on our NMS which could have been used to scan the new node for vulnerabilities.

We are trying to build a method of identifying new machines on the
network (via the ARP tables in the routers), and I want to be able to
scan the machines to see if they look 'sane'. Is there any command line
tools like nessus that can do a quick port and vulnerability scan?
Thanks,
Tim
