+Samhain is an open source file integrity and host-based intrusion
+detection system for Linux and Unix. It can run as a daemon process,
+and and thus can remember file changes - contrary to a tool that runs
+from cron, if a file is modified you will get only one report, while
+subsequent checks of that file will ignore the modification as it is
+already reported (unless the file is modified again).
+
+Samhain can optionally be used as client/server system to provide
+centralized monitoring for multiple host. Logging to a (MySQL or
+PostgreSQL) database is supported.
