Portscan?

Is there a linux utility to port scan (terminal only)? I can't find one that's intuitively titled (liike portscan, pscan, etc).

I know Network Utility does it but I'd like a terminal one if at all possible.

Thanks!

Try SNORT over at SourceForge.
Incorrect. SNORT is an Intrusion Detection System (IDS) and a good one at that; it can behave as a packet sniffer, packet logger, or full network IDS, but it is *not* a port scanner.

Nmap is indeed a port scanner. It does what michaelsanford is asking for. If you want additional functionality, maybe you can get Nessus, the full-blown vulnerability assessment utility to run on top of nmap.
