Thanks Peter, I didn't know about the --checksig option of rpm.

I can't comment on this.
This exists on at least two mirrors: http://centos.take2hosting.com/5.1/updates/i386/RPMS/ http://altruistic.lbl.gov/mirrors/centos/5.1/updates/i386/RPMS/
# md5sum perl-* 7a3f9c4f7c35c23a0751f2b9fc196a21 perl-5.8.8-10.el5_0.2.i386.rpm 135fb1abc0f83fc85885b286ad268a7c perl-suidperl-5.8.8-10.el5_0.2.i386.rpm
Is there a list of the md5sums for the entire updates directory?
Even better, rpms have integrated checksums and signatures: $ rpm --checksig perl-5.8.8-10.el5_0.2.i386.rpm perl-5.8.8-10.el5_0.2.i386.rpm: (sha1) dsa sha1 md5 gpg OK

Suggestions welcome.
