There is no way to turn off verification of specific packages when using the Packages plugin.

I'm testing on Fedora 11 and authconfig is altering the PAM configurations using symlinks:

# rpm -V pam
....L....  c /etc/pam.d/fingerprint-auth
....L....  c /etc/pam.d/password-auth
....L....  c /etc/pam.d/smartcard-auth
S.5....T.  c /etc/pam.d/system-auth

Verifying package instances for pam
        0:1.0.91-6.fc11.i586
        verify_flags = ['', 'nomtime', 'nomd5', 'nosize']
 {'files': [['RPMVERIFY_LINKTO', 'c', '/etc/pam.d/fingerprint-auth'], ['RPMVERIFY_LINKTO', 'c', '/etc/pam.d/password-auth'], ['RPMVERIFY_LINKTO', 'c', '/etc/pam.d/smartcard-auth']], 'nevra': ('pam', None, '1.0.91', '6.fc11', 'i586')} 
*** Instance 0:1.0.91-6.fc11.i586 failed RPM verification ***

I'm not able to teach Bcfg2 that the PAM package is okay.

There's a lack of sanity checking if I call bcfg2-server with the -C option to specify a config file.

If the config file does not exist bcfg2-server exists successfully. There's no indication that it did not spawn off the server process in the background unless you go looking for it.

-C /dev/null behaves similarly.

I need to be able to add attributes to the packages that the Packages plugin prereq generator adds to my configuration.

For example, my configuration includes the "sendmail-cf" package. The Packages plugin automatically adds the "sendmail" package as its required by "sendmail-cf." I manage in my configuration /etc/mail/sendmail.mc which sendmail will use to recreate the sendmail.cf with the sendmail-cf package installed.

However, Bcfg2 insists that the "sendmail" package fails verification because /etc/mail/sendmail.cf has been modified and I'm not directly managing that file. I'd really like to not verify the sendmail package or be able to tell Bcfg2 to ignore the /etc/mail/sendmail.cf file.

A suggested method was to use BoundPackage to set verify='false' but this method just adds a second sendmail package to the configuration and does not affect the attributes for the package added by the Packages prereq generator.
