Can you recommend any essential (but free) security tools to aid in performing security audits of corporate *nix servers?

Thanks

Are these all free? And updated/supported tools, or are some a bit ancient?

SARA hasnt been updated since 2009 - not that that automatically makes it a bad tool?

Will these tools run from a workstation, or do they need a server to run?

I am pretty sure they will run from a workstation.

Yeah can't wait for 5. I think I use BackTrack more than any other OS. Love it (thats saying something)

I am so excited that I can't wait for the final version of backtrack to come out.
I am even planning on upgrading my laptop and wireless adapter.
