Once you have downloaded a file, you should check that it has not been corrupted during the download before burning it to a CD.
For that, you need to do an "md5 checksum", which compares your downloaded file against the file you would find on the server.
I open up a Terminal (I'm running Ubuntu Linux) and do a man on md5. It gives me this syntax:
So I run it on all the zip files I downloaded and the iso files I extracted from them:
All the strings that are outputted match the strings in the file I also downloaded from the same place as the zip files containing the Solaris iso images. Does this mean that it verified the files and I'm good to install?

For Example if you download the following ISO "sol-10-u7-ga-x86-dvd". The MD5 for this is "6e1fc99eee3cdb0e88b8322521fd60a3". If it match, you can Install normaly !!!!

Hi,
I did some NIS migration tests recently.
The target is to migrate the NIS server from Solaris 8 to Redhat Linux 6.5.
And, I found there are encryption issues while Linux NIS using MD5 hashing password for authentication whereas Solaris 8 clients using DES encryption.
It causes issues... (3 Replies)
I have about 1500 rows (encoded b64(b64(md5($pass))) algorythm) in a file.
I would like reverse the b64 into md5 hash format.
How could I do that from command line? So I need only the correct md5 hash formats.

Hi i want to install md5 package into ubuntu. any idea how?
Apparently applying md5sum and md5 on a string (not a file) gives a different value! The one that I need to use is the md5 command, but it says command not found when i type md5 in bash. (2 Replies)
Hello everyone,
I am looking to basically creating md5sum files for all iso files in a directory and archive the resulting md5 files into a single archive in that very same directory.
I worked out a clumsy solution such as:

Hello to everyone,
We are trying to enable ldap authentication with pam_ldap and md5 passwords on a Solaris 10 system to an openldap server. If passwords are stored using crypt, everything works correctly. But if the password in openldap is in md5, then authentication fails.

is there patches enable passwords of greater than 8 characters with only md5 encryption (rather than the older crypt) for solaris 8.
