The software is a perl-script that i developed myself. Md5sum wasn't "intelligent" enough for me(*) and i didn't really look if there was any existing software. So i began with a small script around "Digest::MD5" and it grew from there. The script (i call it "md5tool.pl") is mostly generic, altough there are a few things specific for my environment hardcoded into it. *: For e.g. the script also records mtime, size and filetype with x/y-sizes for a few image-types. With the mtime/size information the script can check if a file has been changed and update the stored MD5-sum. -- Matthias _______________________________________________ dm-crypt mailing list dm-crypt@xxxxxxxx http://www.saout.de/mailman/listinfo/dm-crypt
