md5sum for Tru64 Unix V5.1B

[Danesh Qureshi]

Can anyone tell me where I can find the md5sum utility for Tru64 Unix on HP's website to download it. I wish make sure the patch kit I have downloaded matches the checksum with md5sum.

Hi Danesh

On Tru64 V5.1B you can use openssl to verify various checksums, e. g.

openssl dgst -md5 downloaded_patch_kit

See also "man openssl" and "man dgst".

Hi Danesh

Possibly you can't find openssl on your system, if you didn't select the optional subset OSFSSOSSL540 "Single Sign On Secure Sockets Layer" during installation. This subset contains the OpenSSL open source toolkit. If it isn't installed simply install it.

The binary is /usr/ssl/bin/openssl. There should exist a link /usr/bin/openssl which points to it.
