Binary Check Tool
Checks the named binary for it's rpm owner and the rpm owner of each shared library dependency as determined by ldd. It then runs rpm verify on each file.
Use the chkbin utility when applications behave oddly or don't function at all. Many times it is due to a corrupt or missing binary or shared library file. This tool helps identify these types of issues.
Installation Instructions:
- Uninstall the supportconfig and chkbin RPM packages
- Download ntsutils-1.00-75.1.noarch.rpm
- Install the RPM
- Run the chkbin command as root
rpm -e supportconfig chkbin
rpm -Uvh ntsutils-1.00-75.1.noarch.rpm
Usage:
Just type chkbin </path/to/file>
