i'd like to check rpms.

example: i have checked the sendmail rpm:
#rpm -V sendmail
#S.5....T c /etc/mail/access
#S.5....T c /etc/mail/local-host-names
#S.5....T c /etc/mail/sendmail.mc
#S.5....T c /etc/mail/statistics
#S.5....T c /etc/mail/sendmail.cf

i'd like to know if there is a problem with this rpm? and what shall i do to correct this pb?

Have you tried to install it? If so, what happened? It's very difficult to spot a problem simply from the filenames.

did you check it immediately after rpm -i or after getting your sendmail functional.

In the latter case, differences are bound to occur as you have modified the config files to suit your environment... talking in the sendmail context.

not just after rpm -i ; sendmail is already installed and functional?
how to know if the pkg is good or no?
