[ale] server change logging

[J.M. Taylor]

Greetings Ale:

Was wondering if any of the sys admins on this list use any kind of
automated system-change logging, even if it's just a custom script or
whatever.  CFEngine is not what I'm looking for here, this is strictly for
servers and we don't need to push changes to other machines.

What we want is some kind of semi-automated thing that watches for new
software, patches, changes to config scripts to help us log important
changes to a system.  Right now we have a physical audit log of hardware,
software, and configuration, but they're spotty because admins don't like
to remember to write stuff down.  And we're growing, so it's harder to
keep track of who is doing what to a machine.

Input will be greatly appreciated, as always. :)
