Answer


These are configuration files

Which means you can pretty much ignore the rest of RPM's notes (S meaning that the size has changed since installation , 5 that the md5sum doesn't match, and T that the file time stamp has changed). You might be concerned if you saw a M or a U or G, as these would indicate permissions or ownership changes.

How would you know which package has "securetty"?

# rpm -q -f /etc/securetty
setup-2.5.7-01es02
