CiscoWorks 2000 works very well and provides you realtime reports on
configuration changes...

http://www.shrubbery.net/rancid/ is one way ( it diffs configs stored
in CVS and emails you the changes ).

If you want more real time notifications, use syslog?

Or 'snmp-server host 192.168.0.1 trap <community> config'

More details at: http://www.cisco.com/warp/public/477/SNMP/snmp_traps.html
