?!? No need for xargs.

rpm -Va | tee /tmp/verify.log


Commonly if I'm suspicious of a system, I verify just a few rpms, such as:

procps
net-tools
fileutils

Takes a lot less time and assures some base utilities might be 
trustworthy. Then I usually rpm -V rpm or apache to make sure the verify 
function is still working. Can't be too careful....:)
