well I just installed a system...not sure if redhat keeps a list of signatures for each rpm installed or what. but I just mainly wanted to run a md5sum list and gather up one for every rpm I have installed now...put it someplace safe...and if I want to later...I can run a check with that list with what I have installed already.

I just mainly wanted to make a list with sig on all the rpms I have and put them into a text file.

you might want to look at the tripwire application ( available from a few repos ) , it does something similar to what you have in mind, and will do scheduled checks.

The other option is just a plain and simple rpm -V <pkgname>. that will also verify the files, owned by that package, for changes since install time.

Also, try not top posting :)

wow thank you ...
