It will show if any installed file has changed from the original rpm file
(s).  From that information you will know what "system files" have been 
compromised.  Then you can determine if a rootkit has been installed.  If 
you find compromised system files then you know that you must format and 
re-install with out a doubt.  At this time I would not care what other 
files have been installed.
