You mean your configuration management utility (if any) compares by
timestamp rather then, say, md5sum? You're not using Puppet/CFEngine/BCFG?


Not using Puppet/CFEngine/BCFG.
The timestamp file is created during the post install of the rpm.
This is used as a safety
check to insure that the configuration tool is run after install to
have an up to date configuration
with the existing config management utility - sanity check of the config file.


Right, and although that seems a but hackerish, in %post, you can ntpdate <server>; touch /path/to/timestamp-file, no? You wouldn't really need to adjust the installer images for that purpose, you just need to make sure the appropriate ntp/ntpdate package is installed.
