Configure all software repositories defined in "/etc/yum.repos.d/" to have "gpgcheck" enabled:

$ sudo sed -i 's/gpgcheck\s*=.*/gpgcheck=1/g' /etc/yum.repos.d/*

Check Contents

Verify that OL 9 software repositories defined in "/etc/yum.repos.d/" have been configured with "gpgcheck" enabled:

$ grep gpgcheck /etc/yum.repos.d/*.repo | more
