If you want a quick nmap scan, check out our Assessment site I hacked
together a while back:

        http://assess.nks.net

This will run a nmap scan and give you a bit of additional probed
information about some of the more critical services potentially exposed
on your box.

If you have a firewall blocking UDP without rejects, please ignore all
of the false positives... I'm about to get in there and turn off UDP
scanning all together (should speed things up a bit as well).
