Check your local friendly Red Hat installation:
[root@localhost up2date]# rpm --checksig zsh-4.0.2-2.src.rpm
zsh-4.0.2-2.src.rpm: md5 gpg ok
Of course, this is only as useful as, say, the gpg keys distributed with
the Kernel tarballs, i.e. if you don't actually bother checking the sig
then you are open to abuse. It's entirely possible that rpm can be
configured to require good signatures, but I've not read that part of
the fine manual just yet.
