For *two* of the systems in question, where you are seeing a difference, can you send us the output of: sha1sum /path/to/the/file/in/question rpm -qf /path/to/the/file/in/question rpm --verify -f /path/to/the/file/in/question Obviously, I'm trying to figure out where you stand before we try anything more complicated. I can't think of a reason why these files would change in normal use. Is there any chance that these machines could have been broken into?
