Some people suggested tripwire. It is public shareware.

Some suggested the audit_control(4) and bsmconv(1M) in solaris.

I dont think tripwire will get down to the file by file level I am
looking for, so I am going to try the audit_control software built into
solaris. It looks extrememly cryptic though.
