Hi all, suprisingly I just found that md5sum and sha1sum also accept the formats of the md5 and sha1 tools as input with option -c. There's though a third checksum format which is produced by the openssl tool which only slightly differs to the format from md5 and sha1 - two blanks are missing ... output of 'md5 file': MD5 (httpd-2.2.14.tar.bz2) = a5226203aaf97e5b941c41a71c112704 output of 'openssl md5 file': MD5(httpd-2.2.14.tar.bz2)= a5226203aaf97e5b941c41a71c112704 output of 'sha1 file': SHA1 (httpd-2.2.14.tar.bz2) = eacd04c87b489231ae708c84a77dc8e9ee176fd2 output of 'openssl md5 file': SHA1(httpd-2.2.14.tar.bz2)= eacd04c87b489231ae708c84a77dc8e9ee176fd2
I think that it cant be hard to make md5sum and sha1sum accept the openssl format too. thanks, Günter.
