Hi,

If I do an md5sum across 4 machines all running Centos5-x86_64 on 
/bin/bash why does it show a different checksum ?

-> ssh box4 md5sum -b /bin/bash

53d2152059125e221a38099369e5777e */bin/bash

-> ssh box6 md5sum -b /bin/bash

e22fb934b0a4a840a330f47559d27205 */bin/bash

-> ssh box5 md5sum -b /bin/bash

34bd0269a3ca9ce15e3bf56957d95609 */bin/bash

-> ssh box2 md5sum -b /bin/bash

c830775b0f99dcd7a0d1dd6117f7d721 */bin/bash

More intriguing is that rpm -V shows that the binaries match the rpm 
database on each server.

Thanks
