rpm -Va will verify all files installed through RPMs on your system. This
will take a while.
You *can* expect this to throw up a number of files. Some will be config
files that you've changed. Some (especially on a 64-bit machine) will be
as a result of oddities in Fedora's support for both i386 and x86-64 [1]
in the same install.
You will get a few messages about prelink -- you can ignore these.
You'll get output looking rather like:
SM5...GT c /etc/mail/spamassassin/local.cf
man rpm says
S file Size differs
M Mode differs (includes permissions and file type)
5 MD5 sum differs
D Device major/minor number mismatch
L readLink(2) path mismatch
U User ownership differs
G Group ownership differs
T mTime differs
If you get a lot where merely the mTime differs, you may want to pipe the
output through grep -v .......
Hope this helps,
James.
