It might be a good idea to install it if you think someone has
(or may) cracked into your system.

Tripwire reads a configuration file of files or directories to
monitor, and then tracks changes to inode information and
contents. The database is highly configurable, and allows you to
specify particluar attributes to monitor and particular message
digest alogorithms to use for each file.

If this makes sense to you:

-----------------------------------------------------------
#!/bin/sh

find `cat /usr/adm/filelist` -ls -type f -exec md5 {}\; >
/tmp/now
diff -b /usr/adm/savelist /tmp/now
-----------------------------------------------------------

then you might want to get a copy from

ftp://coast.cs.perdue.edu/pub/COAST/Tripwire
