Two things have been weighing on my mind regarding security issues.
The first is that when I downloaded the CentOS 4.1 ISO images, I could not get the sums to match even using different downloads from different mirrors. I decided that that I was doing something wrong and decided to trust the images. So far no regrets. But I am concerned that I get it right the next time. I thought I had read everything carefully and I also had a small amount of experience with them in the past. Decided eventually maybe they just hadn't been updated (this was about a month or so ago, IIRC?).
Can one post the command used to gen the numbers so I can use the correct parameters next time?
Windows and sums are problematic. When you boot the suspect CD set run the check CD option.
Unless you can download and check on a *nix box.
