I just bought a computer on eBay that came with RHL 7.3 already installed, along with the homemade install CDs. It occurs to me that it could potentially be a pre-hacked install.
Now, I don't really suspect that, but you never know. I was wondering if there is any way to verify all the installed packages against the RHL FTP server's contents. Does RPM provide this? More importantly, if the machine came with a root kit that had a hacked version of RPM, what could I do to prevent being fooled by a corrupt O/S when it says everything is proper? Short of wiping the hard drive, tossing out the provided CDs, and reinstalling from Red Hat's server, is there any way to confirm that this installation is clean and sober?
