PortSentry and LogCheck from Psionic.com are a good start, and relatively
easy to install and run.
http://www.psionic.com has both.

For Trojans, try Chkrootkit:
http://www.chkrootkit.org

ipchains is another good firewall-type thingie:

Other firewall/real time packet checking thingies:
Snort: http://www.snort.org
TripWire: http://www.tripwire.com

Someone was saying that one of the web stats packages had a security suite
in it, but I can't remember the name...

These are all the packages I've heard mentioned that I can remember.  I hope
this helps!
