Hello,
I am using BusyBox version v1.22.1 inside MobaXterm, and came across what
looks like a bug in the ‘sum’ command…maybe not a bug, but definitely not
expected…here is a little demo for you…thanks, I love BusyBox!
Demo shows that given two files with different contents, ‘sum’ gives them an
identical checksum, but ‘cksum’ gives them different checksums (as expected).
