Description of problem:
I'm guessing the warning might not be a bug, but if it isn't, then it being such
an obscure message that doesn't tell me anything useful IS a bug.

When I install RPMs, I get:

# rpm -Uvh ~raul/downloads/xinetd-2.3.7-5.i386.rpm 
warning: /home/raul/downloads/xinetd-2.3.7-5.i386.rpm: V3 DSA signature: NOKEY,
key ID db42a60e
Preparing...                ########################################### [100%]
   1:xinetd                 ########################################### [100%]


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):


How reproducible:
Sometimes

Steps to Reproduce:
1.  Install an RPM.
2.
3.
	

Actual Results:  I get the warning.

Expected Results:  I should get something useful, like what the warning means,
or anything.  Right now I have no idea what to do that information, and man rpm
isn't helpful.

Do (as root)
	rpm --import /usr/share/doc/rpm-4.1/RPM-GPG-KEY
to install Red Hat's public key and make the warning go away.

Verify by doing
	rpm -qi gpg-pubkey

There's no way for rpm or Red Hat or anyone other than you
to define the usefulness of "trust" wrto digital signatures.
