I am curious why rpm verification fails on these files/packages immediately after installation of fc7. I am leaving out some things (especially config files) that obviously get changed during/after install. Many files installed from tetex and tetex-dvips packages show changes. SM5....T c /usr/lib/security/classpath.security S.5....T c /usr/share/sgml/docbook/xmlcatalog Does the install/setup process really change these files, or could the rpms have the wrong md5s, modes, times, and file sizes? classpath.security and xmlcatalog are listed as config files, but would the config really change depending on how I install or how I answer the post-install questions? I think I just took the defaults, don't understand what would've changed. /usr/lib/security/classpath.security is particularly boring... ---------------- grep -v '^#' /usr/lib/security/classpath.security security.provider.1=gnu.java.security.provider.Gnu security.provider.2=gnu.javax.crypto.jce.GnuCrypto security.provider.3=gnu.javax.crypto.jce.GnuSasl security.provider.4=gnu.javax.net.ssl.provider.Jessie security.provider.5=gnu.javax.security.auth.callback.GnuCallbacks auth.login.defaultCallbackHandler=gnu.javax.security.auth.callback.DefaultCallbackHandler securerandom.source=file:///dev/urandom --------------------- Would any of that really differ between different fc7 installs if no-one went and mucked with them? And then ....L... c /etc/pam.d/system-auth L means 'readLink(2) path mismatch' whatever that means. I googled that, but just got a lot of pages that quote the man page, no further explanation. ls -la shows that /etc/pam.d/system-auth is actually a soft link to /etc/pam.d/system-auth-ac. I wonder why? Is there actually something to be concerned about here? /etc/pam.d/system-auth is supposed to come from pam, but /etc/pam.d/system-auth-ac comes from authconfig package. ??? Is authconfig stepping on pam? Is there a README or FAQ somewhere that should be the place to look for answers about this sort of thing? thanks, Dave
