That's an easy problem to fix.  The RPM database is what I'm concerned
about, since it contains the MD5 information in the first place.  Does
anyone know a way to compare the MD5 of an installed package against the
source RPM file (which being on a CD and all is probably okay ;) ) as
opposed to the data stored in the RPM database?  (Of course, I can always
reinstall, but i'd rather not...)

This information is fantastic!  Is it all in the mini-HOWTO?  I didn't
even know that HOWTO existed.

But if I do that... won't I have to kill the offending process and
therefore lose my toehold on the file?
