FC12: Hidden files in /usr/bin/*

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?

Packaging bug ?

Ralf
