I have been using RKH for some time now mainly on a CentOS 4.2 box but
more recently on a Scientific Linux 5.0 box.  Both the systems are of
course derivatives of RHEL.

On my SL5.0 box I get the following message (RKH 1.2.9):

"
* Filesystem checks
   Checking /dev for suspicious files...   [ OK ]
   Scanning for hidden files...  [ Warning! ]
---------------
/etc/.pwd.lock
/etc/.java /usr/share/man/man1/..1.gz /dev/.udev
---------------
Please inspect:  /etc/.java (directory)  /usr/share/man/man1/..1.gz (gzip
compressed data, from Unix, max compression)  /dev/.udev (directory)
"

I've checked these out and they all look benign.  I can deal with the
/etc/.pwd.lock issue simply by erasing the file and I am pretty sure that
the others are a symptom of RHEL5.0 inherited by SL5.0.  The SL5.0 MD5
sums check out with the SL installation OK (SL recompile everything
anyway) so I am not concerned but it does generate a warning message which
can be misleading, especially if another (more) valid warning message is
generated...

So in the RKH configuration, is it possible for aliases to be created so
that CentOS, SL (and others) are treated as valid clones of RHEL?

Best wishes

John
