Puppet

Puppet lets you centrally manage every important aspect of your system using a cross-platform specification language that manages all the separate elements normally aggregated in different files, like users, cron jobs, and hosts, along with obviously discrete elements like packages, services, and ... [More] files. Puppet's simple declarative specification language provides powerful classing abilities for drawing out the similarities between hosts while allowing them to be as specific as necessary, and it handles dependency and prerequisite relationships between objects clearly and explicitly.

ssh-moat

Monitors the SSH authorization log, and directs firewall software (ipfw by default) to blacklist IPs which are exhibiting suspicious behavior, and whitelist IPs which make successful logins. You can use it to greatly increase the time necessary for a cracker to mount a successful dictionary attack ... [More] on your server. The utility is configurable, so it can be used to monitor any log (not just SSH) for any good / bad behavior patterns, and take any command-line action as a response. Developed and tested on Mac OS X, but should work just fine on any UNIX with Ruby installed. [Less]
