Would it make more sense to have a single sha utility that takes an argument of which algorithm to use, defaulting to the most secure, then the user can define wrappers to invoke a non-default algorithm? For example, 'sha --algorithm=sha224' or 'sha --224'? -- Eric Blake _______________________________________________ Bug-coreutils mailing list [email protected] http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-coreutils
