If you just want to monitor changes, Tripwire does this. However, that is all it does. Its an "after the fact" intrusion detection.
If you want active detection and file change detection, RealSecure Server Sensor does this. It can do in-line, real time IPS and monitor the file system for changes. And there is a version for both Windows and UNIX.

The goal is to build a server according to specs (this would include hardening of the OS + agency specific security settings) then use a HIDS to detect and alert on any changes. Theoretically speaking, I know this can be done, but is anyone doing this? ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Test Your IDS Is your IDS deployed correctly?
