Is that not a huge security hole? I *have* to install an rpm from a vendor... source rpm is not an option, as the binary rpm is all I have. The rpm will execute tasks as root... However, I can no tell what they are? What if they are compromising my system? Maybe a little too paranoid... but I would really like to see what I install... crakers love obscurity and the fact that you can no see what is done... sounds like thay can slip anything they want there...
