Hi,
I have following questions regarding digest creation using openssl. Would really appreciate if someone could please reply? We are using OpenSSL 0.9.7a Feb 19 2003. 1. openssl dgst -sha1 xyz.tar.gz or openssl dgst -md5 xyz.tar.gz creates a digest for xyz.tar.gz file. Can openssl create and verify a digest for a directory instead of a file? If so, what is the command? 2. openssl can create a md5, sha1 digest for a given file. Can openssl create sha2 digest? Man page suggests dgst can take sha256 or sha512 as argument but when I use this, it complains as an invalid option for argument. Thanks in advance. Regards, Saikat
