md5 seems to output a different format here. $ head -n1 /etc/motd FreeBSD 8.0-RELEASE-p3 (GENERIC) #0: Wed May 26 05:45:12 UTC 2010 $ md5sum --version | head -n1 md5sum (GNU coreutils) 8.3 $ md5 file | tee t.md5 MD5 (file) = b85d6fb9ef4260dcf1ce0a1b0bff80d3 $ md5sum -c t.md5 file: OK Could you verify what md5 utility you're using exactly. cheers, Pádraig.
