You can use "md5sum" (usually part of most distros' base install): bash$ md5sum my_file.txt which should return the checksum. There's also a "sha1sum" which will return the sha1 hash (cryptographically more secure as there are some weaknesses with MD5). I don't know of any counterpart in stock Windows, but I suspect that you can either download a stand-alone "md5sum.exe", or perhaps get it as part of the Cygwin install. -tim _______________________________________________ Blinux-list mailing list Blinux-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/blinux-list
