Hi,
On FC12 I found this:
# ls /usr/bin/.*.hmac /usr/bin/.fipscheck.hmac /usr/bin/.ssh.hmac
# rpm -qf /usr/bin/.*.hmac fipscheck-1.2.0-4.fc12.x86_64 openssh-clients-5.2p1-31.fc12.x86_64
Could somebody provide some insight what these files are (I guess some checksums) and why they are being installed to /usr/bin?
These are checksums required by FIPS-140-2 integrity verification checks of the fipscheck and ssh binaries.
