For RedHat, tripwire would be relatively redundant. If you keep a copy of
your rpm database on some sort of removable, remote, or read-only media,
you can use rpm -V to look for things that are out of sync as far as
permissions or md5sum go.
If you do want it though, it's been in the contrib dir at ftp.redhat.com
for quite some time:
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 368029 Feb 7 1997 tripwire-1.2-1.i386.rpm
