For MD5 checksums personally I favour MD5Summer on Windows boxes.

Just watch the formatting of the checksum file if you're checking downloads - sometimes it can be a bit picky about linebreaks. I think this file might have been the latest preview release of Netbeans 6.5 (RC1). Looking in notepad though and putting the digest and filename on one line worked a treat.

Sorry this went a little OT / top-posted.

How can I verify the checksums for a specific file?

I have a feeling you are not asking the question about ZFS hosted files specifically.

If you downloaded a file, enter
cksum filename

To get the "CRC Check-Sum"

For more types of checksum, you can use

digest -a md5 filename

digest -l will list types of checksum that the "digest" command knows about.

Oh, one other thing,
To check the cheksums of files you've downloaded to a MS Windows system you need do download and install a "checksum checking" utility, try twocows.com
