Sorry for the late reply. I've fallen behind on reading my security & FreeBSD mailing lists mailbox, over 400 emails. Just not enough time in the day any more. :( I've used both Tripwire and Aide, and I maintain the FreeBSD tripwire-131 and aide ports. My preference so far has been Tripwire because of its interactive option. Other than that and taking into account some what I might consider relatively minor differences when viewed at from the 35,000 ft. level, the two packages are quite similar in function. Version 1 of Tripwire, especially 1.2, does not manage its memory all that well either. The folks at Tripwiresecurity have told me that version 2 greatly improves its memory management allowing one to monitor greater numbers of files. I've hit the wall, so to speak, with number of files monitored by Tripwire-1.3.1. The Tripwire-2.3.1 port, once complete, should resolve that issue for me.
