Yep. that's normal.
We are not sure why this is happening. Can some one throw light on this.
Prelink. Basically there's a cron job that runs weekly, which optimizes binaries to load faster. It will change md5sums on the binaries it modifies. You can alter this behavior if you wish by setting parameters in /etc/sysconfig/prelink.
