Its ok people

rpm --checksig package.rpm

checks the size, md5sum and gpg signature. For gpg to work you need to
install gpg and do:

gpg --import signingkeyfile 

signingkeyfile is on the redhat or mandrake cd's

if you can't ge bothered with gpg then

rpm --nogpg --checksig package.rpm 

checks just the size & mdsum
