Hello all. When I verify all with RPM (rpm -Va > rpm-verify) I get lines
that look like
S.5....T c /etc/printcap
Could someone please explain to me what I'm getting. I Google'd but couldn't
seem to find anything. I might have skimmed to quickly.
TIA

I just love the sound deadlines make as they go by.
