AIDE
AIDE (Advanced Intrusion Detection Environment) is a free replacement for Tripwire(tm). It generates a database that can be used to check the integrity of files on server. It uses regular expressions for determening which files get added to the database. You can use several message digest algorithms to ensure that the files have not been tampered with.

Yes, but, is Tripwire better than AIDE, the same or worse?
freeness
Tripwire, although well established, is not GPLed. It is free in a monetary sense (IF you are not a commercial entity) but not in a free speech sense. AIDE is GPLed. If you don't know what that means, see www.gnu.org
RE: Tripwire
The latest version of Tripwire is now commercial. I believe the older versions are still free to use.
Peace, Pete
