You could have a weekly cron job on all boxes that does a rpm for all package 
config files, diff against a "snapshot" copy contained under /var somewhere, 
email those diffs to a change management system,then save the current files in 
the snapshot directory.

First run will send the complete configs, all subsequent runs will send the 
diffs.

Of course you need a change management system that will hold an inventory of 
systems, those systems' hardware/software inventories and configurations, and 
track those changes with alerts and reports and such.

I don't know of a good system for doing all that unfortunately, but if you do 
find one let me know.
