or if you cannot afford cisco works (or would rather spend the money
on other things...), you can do something similar with swatch.  just
look for the syslog string:

%SYS-5-CONFIG_I: Configured from console by $user

then trigger a rancid run on that device
I once wrote a rancid-like tool that did that (scripted config gets triggered by syslog). I haven't touched it since I met rancid, but some people tell me that they like it:
