Sure.  Replace ls with a version that alerts a remote machine.  Have
something watching for the machine to go into promiscuous mode.  Have a
dummy account that has easily cracked password that should never get a
login.  Leave some suid programs around that alarm.  

I'm not aware of any that you can go download.  Problem is, you pretty
much need to invent your own burglar alarms.  If an attacker suspects they
are there, most are easily bypassed.  Since they are detection mechanisms
rather than prevention mechanisms, you're stuck having to hide their
existance.

Hey Folks,

Anyone got any suggestions on useful boobytraps to detect unauthorized
access for Solaris boxes.
