Hey, Gang! To ensure that a file hasn't been corrupted or tampered with, you can use rpm to verify the package it came from. Well, I found this: rpm -Vv util-linux .... ........ /usr/bin/cal S.?..... /usr/bin/chfn ........ /usr/bin/chrt S.?..... /usr/bin/chsh .... Does anyone else get this? And what would be the proper course of action at this point? Thanks mucho. -- Without music, life would be a mistake. --Friedrich Nietzsche

S means size differs from rpmdb entry, ? means the md5sum test could not be done. I'm guessing interference from prelink. If you can, turn it off(*) and re-run the test. (*) change to "PRELINKING=no" in /etc/sysconfig/prelink and run /etc/cron.daily/prelink. /Peter -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...

I don't understand why prelink would affect the rpm database, but turning prelink off and then back on cleared those flags.
