Tripwire
Change detection and notification. Tripwire establishes a baseline 'snapshot' of your file system (recording file system properties - owner, permissions, modify time, content hashes, etc) and stores this information in a secured database. When an integrity check is run, it gathers the same information on the same files and looks for any differences. Any deviations are written to a report file and (optionally) emailed to whoever you specify.

Tripwire is, as said below, an essential tool for the expirienced UNIX system administrator. Better than any "AI" intrusion detection program.
Not easy to set up and configure properly - therefore this one is not for the faint of heart, but definitely an essential tool for any system admin.
Frodo did a great job of putting this package together with the necessary documentation. Hopefully it will be brought in sync with the latest version at sourceforge.
