        I am big on AIDE lately. If you want to spend money, Tripwire. Our
solution was to hack out a centralized solution around AIDE. There's some
neat hacks out there like ViperDB for smaller solutions.

        Good.

        Event to syslog is kind of cool. It's irritating to audit Windows
event logs in a flat form, definitely clutters stuff up. I have yet to see
an ideal cross platform central logging solution.

        Sounds like you want a consultant. =) You have a pretty good idea
going on. You might want to throw some network IDS in there too.
