Yea its the same file on my drive seems to be constantly changing so im going this route of testing: harddrive,cable,nic since I've already done memory. and if all that's correct then I quit the gnome wins =o( It is possible as I have had the following problems. wintendos restart during hardware detection, spontanious reboots very very unpredictible on those, strage sybols being written from harddrive to floppy like files being renamed to such nonsense as $@!#@@%%^!!@#$( etc. I am really tryning to find those and this could also be my md5 problem. So far my relentless search has left me clueless <g>. I also had my memory address range in Tuff Test Pro show up as @!%$@%^$*#$%!#$%^ crap on the memory test section yet the test show the memory is good. So if anyone has every had this gremlin please share his name so we can put him on the list with Bin Makingbigmistakes =o). Thanks to everyone for there help and input as I could use all I can get right now. Since I cant seem to reproduce these bugs in a timely manner to find there origin. Just needed to make sure it was just me. >From: Ryan Thompson <ryan@sasknow.com> >To: Undisclosed Name <sysop_blast@hotmail.com> >CC: <freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG> >Subject: Re: MD5 Checksum Weirdness >Date: Tue, 18 Dec 2001 02:11:52 -0600 (CST) >MIME-Version: 1.0 >Received: from [207.195.92.130] by hotmail.com (3.2) with ESMTP id >MHotMailBDE8455F00C040042A1ACFC35C8210A40; Tue, 18 Dec 2001 00:12:16 -0800 >Received: from localhost (ryan@localhost)by catalyst.sasknow.net >(8.11.6/8.11.6) with ESMTP id fBI8Bql31111;Tue, 18 Dec 2001 02:11:52 -0600 >(CST)(envelope-from ryan@sasknow.com) >From ryan@sasknow.com Tue, 18 Dec 2001 00:12:27 -0800 >X-Authentication-Warning: catalyst.sasknow.net: ryan owned process doing >-bs >X-X-Sender: <ryan@catalyst.sasknow.net> >In-Reply-To: <LAW2-F58mof2gZgPKCn0000749d@hotmail.com> >Message-ID: <20011218020438.N30898-100000@catalyst.sasknow.net> > >Undisclosed Name wrote to freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG: > > > Humm, Could someone please tell me why I would be getting a > > different checksum each time I run /sbin/md5 on the same file?
