    I've been doing the integrity checks on RPM installs, but that was to
check against files being corrupted in download. Belatedly, I realize that
would also check for tampering.

     I have textutils as part of my RH 5.2 install.  I'll check the man
pages on cksum.

    Where do I get the pgp pack?  Does it work with RPMS?

    (Yes, I know RPMS are a crutch, but right now I find them a useful tool
as well.)

    Thanks in advance.
