Yeah, a good number of my configuration files suffer from that. I wonder
why.

I do not know about Centos 5, my system is Centos 4.

'rpm -Va > verifycheck3'
Then:
fgrep S.5 verifycheck3 | grep '/usr/bin/'
S.5....T /usr/bin/dltest
S.5....T /usr/bin/isql
S.5....T /usr/bin/iusql
S.5....T /usr/bin/odbc_config
S.5....T /usr/bin/odbcinst
That 446 would not happen to be last number from wc output would it? The
above yields 144 characters, 10 words and 5 lines if piped into wc.

The above was on a 64-bit system.
