Portsentry is good one but it will keep track of ports being abused
(first level of security breach). if you want to detect second (where
the intruder logs onto the system) and third level of security breaches
(where the intruder is able to get a priveleged account) and take
appropriate action, then you should check out HostSentry.

Both portsentry and hostsentry are developed by Psionic software
(http://www.psionic.com) and are great tools.
