md5sum improvment suggestion Let assume this:
find /lib -type f -name '*dll' |head -n5 >a0.a cat a0.a /lib/aspell-0.60/context-filter.dll /lib/aspell-0.60/email-filter.dll /lib/aspell-0.60/nroff-filter.dll /lib/aspell-0.60/sgml-filter.dll /lib/aspell-0.60/tex-filter.dll md5sum checks file integrity based on the md5 crc, of an single file. md5sum /lib/aspell-0.60/tex-filter.dll 0 md5sum checks file integrity based on the md5 crc, of an list of files . md5sum -c a0.md5 0 md5sum apparently does not make an a0.md5 signature file from a list of files: find /lib -type f -name '*dll' |head -n5 |while read f; do md5sum $f; done >>a0.md -nasty- :-( therefore, should it be a good idea to improve md5sum with this option: md5sum -f a0.md5 to achive find /lib -type f -name '*dll' |head -n5 |while read f; do md5sum $f; done >>a0.md spontaneously ? :-) Thx ' nice day pc
