I'm going to sound like a broken record, but I really think
(especially if you're using Redhat Linux) that the Tripwire for
Linux product will serve you admirably. I've also put Zone Alarm on
some individual boxes, and that's worked quite well. Tripwire is
pretty well documented. I also had a brief opportunity to talk to
some of the Tripwire folks at a security- focused financial trade
show in New York last December. The people had the right answers to
questions readily available, and the program, although it does
require some knowledge of security, repays study.
You should upgrade your Red Hat server, though. :)
