If there's not a reason for something like this to have happened (fsck, manual deletion..) you might check and see if the system has been broken into. Sigmd5 stores the MD5 signatures for packages, and Filemd5s stores the MD5's for files, this is use to verify if a package has been changed or not. > -- > Amy Tanner > amy at real-time.com -- Matthew S.
