OK, I tried this, and the last one, rpm -V util-linux gives the 
following:

S.5....T c /etc/pam.d/chfn
S.5....T c /etc/pam.d/chsh
S.5....T c /etc/pam.d/login
..?.....   /usr/bin/chfn
..?.....   /usr/bin/chsh
.M?.....   /usr/bin/newgrp
.M......   /usr/bin/write

Are the /usr/bin/chfn and /usr/bin/chsh lines a problem?  I've found a 
few references to bugs in these programs from a few years ago.
