The last time I built the RPM's for DRDB, two RPM's were generated. One was the toolset, the other was the kernel module.
On systems that were running custom or older kernels, I would have to rebuild the RPM on those machines so that the kernel version numbers matched properly. Make sense?

rkhunter that way now and it works like a charm. Not sure what you mean
by an rpm target in the makefile, though.

not sure if you are saying to do something after the rpmbuild or that
you just used the resultant rpms.
