Re: [expert] Linuxconf update
I checked the update listing and there's only a .1 upgrade available for Linuxconf. Is that little of a change a needed update? What is the update for anyhow?

Install that one in gpg and see what rpm -K gives you for the linuxconf rpms. I got the linuxconf files from sunsite, so if you got them from there, they should be ok. Tom Berkley "Ralph F.

Re: [expert] Linuxconf update
You need to get the key file off your cd or download from a trusted site and gpg --import keyfilename while logged in as the user who is going to do rpm -K. I have both root and my username set up with the imported key. Then you will get a gpg ok. Also look at mandrake updates web page for a pointer to their security key for the updates.
