Authconfig Package Fails Verification Using RPM

Hi,

I tried executing the rpm -V command on the packages of the CentOS 7.2 ISO which I have created, the verification failed for some of them. Here is the log for ‘authconfig’ :

Steps:

1. Execute command : rpm -V authconfig

2. Observe the output

Expected Result:
If there is no error, nothing should be displayed

Actual Result:
Verification fails with following error log:
S.5….T.c /etc/sysconfig/authconfig

-When I uninstalled the package and re-installed it using YUM, the verification for the same passed.-
-When I executed the same command on the same package of CentOS-7-x86_64-Everything-1511.iso the verification failed.

So, I concluded that the problem is not with my ISO as the same is failing for standard ISO also.

Please provide info on what this -V option actually does, and why these verification is failing for even the standard rpms. Is that a flaw ????

Regards, Shagun

  • that is, as its name and path suggests, a configuration file. a bit of poking around, its modified by authconfig(8) and specifies which of various authentication methods are to be used. So if that file has been modified it will of course not match the checksum of the default file which is stored in the rpm database.
