"du" takes into account block sizes and so on, so may not be the same on two different machines. "ls -l" shows the exact size per file. > is there any more accurate way to make sure of integrity of the file. > ( other than pgp or signature ) md5sum will generate an MD5 checksum on each file. It's typically what is used by larger FTP sites to ensure you've downloaded a non-corrupt file. It's _possible_ for two seperate files to have the same checksum but the chances of this happening by accident are 1 in 2^128 - very unlikely :-) -- rgds Stephen _______________________________________________ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos
