man rpm

rpm has a verify option that will check the permissions on all the files
that are installed.  If you changed permissions later, it will be
flagged as different.

I run a regular rpmverify script to automatically go through every
installed package and e-mail a report.  It's much less management than
tripwire (although not quite as effective).  Let me know if you want the
script.
