Depends on what you want.

On the low end, Tripwire & Swatch, for example, can act as a simple
host-based intrusion detection system.  TCPWrappers can be configured to be
a simple network intrusion detection system.

You probably want something more sophisticated, however.

For Linux, there is LIDS (http://www.lids.org/) for host-based intrusion
detection.  This is a kernel-based system.

Snort (http://www.snort.org/) is quite good for a network based intrusion
detection system.

I've not yet had time to try it, but Firestorm looks like it might have some
promise as it evolves. See http://firestorm.geek-ware.co.uk/menu.php.

There are a number of others.  Try
