Dany,

It's been a while since I used tripwire but I don't recall it generating 
any events, per se.  If you have tripwire setup, and you'd like to 
incorporate changes of summed files, you could certainly write a plugin to 
do so and represent a change of some file, say /etc/passwd, as a CRITICAL 
within Nagios.  You could probably also hook up Nagios and send it passive 
service checks out of the cronjob running tripwire in verify mode.  Let 
me know if this is what you had in mind.  It sounds to me like it could be 
done but I'm unaware of any existing plugins in this space at the moment.

Thanks.
