Hi,
No, ftping in binary.
I am running textutils-2.0e6 rpm (the latest) from www.linuxppc.org which supplies
md5sum
I will check what I am running on Solaris.
hmm, I wonder which one is broken?
Thanks,
Kevin

Hi,
I ran md5sum on a big bz2 archive on my ppc linux box and then
ftp'd it to my Sun Solaris 7 box at work.
I checked it with md5sum on that machine and it differed.
Okay I thought, a bad packet during upload.
So I tried again, same result.
I then passed back and forth (known good archives) and the md5sums
were different.
Okay, I thought maybe an endian issue but both Solaris Sparc and PPC
Linux are big endian.
Should these sums be different?
no, that would rather defeat the purpose of md5sum hashes. one of
your md5sum programs is broken.
or perhaps you ftp'd in text mode instead of binary mode.
