I just so happen to be a certified Tripwire something-or-other, which means that an employer or two ago I was sent to a class and took a test. They do sell a nifty GUI for managing policies; however, said GUI promptly drops you into the text editor of your choice if you want to change the policy instead of manage it or report on violations or something.
Tripwire is the best thing going if you've got 2500 servers rolled from about five or ten gold images to keep an eye on. For the average home hack, the nightly rpm -aV that msec gives you is just plenty. Managing Tripwire on a desktop is the kind of annoyance I don't need.
