I tried tripwire awhile back. A bit complicated for me. That is why
I went with http://sourceforge.net/projects/aide

Installed it, ran aide --init, rebooted, ran aide --check
appended changed files to bottom of /etc/aide.conf with leading !
to keep aide from warning about them after reboots.

Then added /home and whatnot and have a fair amount of confidence
all is well.

The su - root is good advice. My /etc/ssh/sshd_config has
  PermitRootLogin without-password
which means I can not log in with a password, but I can get in if I
have correctly setup authorized_keys,public/private keys in /root/.ssh.

I also have tcpwrappers installed. That saved my butt a few days
ago when the firewall did not start up. Started getting emails from
root about ssh attempts when cracker was attempting brute force log into
root account. That made me check the firewall.

Here is a copy of my tcpwrappers /etc/hosts.(allow,deny) files.
$ cat /etc/hosts.allow
