Nessus can be tweaked to be able to report on a daily basis, its
reports (including nmap probes, as configured). You might want to take a
look at it (and maybe go through the mailing list archive since it was
discussed previously there)

You can do an awful lot worse than installing AIDE for this sort of thing.

Have you got a central loghost with logcheck? That might make life a lot
easier (once you get the hang of ignoring stuff :)

If you were to save the results of nmap to disk for posterity, you could
see when they changed with AIDE, above. Funky.
