systraq is interesting for system administrators: it monitors your system and warns you when system files change. It sends you a daily email listing the state of your system. If critical system files or user access files (e.g. ~/.ssh/authorized_keys) have changed, you'll get an email within a shorter notice. It consists of few very small shell scripts. It can help you implement a (not too strict) security policy.
Take a look at the systraq manual, the systraq(8) manpage and the st_snapshot.hourly(1) manpage for more details.
Read the NEWS file to find out about status of latest release. The README file might be interesting too; the ChangeLog lists all the gory details.
