I always thought that c stood for configuration file. From the man page ----- The format of the output is a string of 8 characters, a possible attribute marker: c %config configuration file. d %doc documentation file. g %ghost file (i.e. the file contents are not included in the package payload). l %license license file. r %readme readme file. ----- and an example is S.5....T c /etc/ldap.conf I could have sworn there was a "no config file" option, but I don't see it in the man page. But I think the --nordev Don't verify the corresponding file attribute. Is probrubly closer to what you are looking for.
