1.56.  fipscheck

previously, the fipscheck libraries and binaries were installed in / (root). However, because they are not required by anything in /, they are now relocated to /usr. (BZ#475800)

previously, the fipscheck libraries were packaged in the main fipscheck package. This would lead to a file conflict when installing fipscheck on architectures with multilib support. The fipscheck libraries are now shipped in fipscheck-lib subpackages for each architecture, therefore avoiding the file conflict. (BZ#502676)

fipscheck now includes a runtime integrity self-test which is necessary for FIPS 140-2 level 1 validation of Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5 cryptography modules.

the FIPSCHECK_DEBUG environment variable adds improved debugging. Error messages can be saved to the syslog or sent to stderr.

fipscheck can now compute HMACs on multiple files at the same time.
