i don't recall if there's a specific rpm list, so here goes.
i'm unclear on what exactly rpm is "verifying" when i verify
an installed package.  as i understand it, rpm will check
various attributes such as size, perms, checksum and so on,
against the initial attributes at time of package installation,
and flag any discrepancies.

  ok, so

        # rpm -ql setup         (basic OS files, including
                                /etc/passwd)

  but when i verify setup:

        # rpm -V setup

only /etc/services is flagged, despite the fact that i've
added extra users which clearly has changed /etc/passwd.
why is rpm not flagging that?

p.s.  rh 6.1, rpm-3.0.3
