Yum packages usually have a digital signature that is used to verify
the integrity of the package. For example, the FCn keys are in the
top level of the first CD and of the FTP site.
Almost every YUM repository has its own GPG security key. Go to the
repo web site, download their GPG key to your machine and then do (as
root):
# rpm --import /path/to/gpg/key
If the site has no GPG key, then find the "/etc/yum.repo.d/" file
corresponding to that site and change the "gpgcheck=1" line in that
file to "gpgcheck=0". Insert the line if you don't already have one.
