Very Computer

Colleagues,

What package do I have to add to Solaris9 to be able to compute md5
checksums of files? Something like FreeBSD's /sbin/md5 would do.

Thanks for any input.

Where do I find it?
It is not available on the sol-9-u8-ga-sparc-v{1,2}.iso installation CDs.

It should be with SunScreen packages, in the ExtraValue/CoBundled
subdirectory.

Hmm, that might actually be a part of SunScreen packages.

You can also get the binary from:

http://sunsolve.sun.com/md5/md5.tar.Z

We did not purchase SunScreen.

Great! Thanks a lot. How did you get to know about this place
(I mean /md5/md5.tar.Z on sunsolve)?

There is a free version available for download, SunScreen 3.1 Lite.

But I do not see it available now... hmm. Maybe Sun no longer makes the
free version available.

It's mentioned at:

http://sunsolve.sun.com/pub-cgi/fileFingerprints.pl

My mistake. It is still available, if you are interested in it:

http://www.sun.com/software/securenet/lite/download.xml

Note: Lite version has some differences from the full version.

But most of the functionality from full is also present in Lite.

Only supported for Solaris 8, though. Since it has kernel mode drivers,
I don't think it'll work on Solaris 9 or later.

-Dan

Thank you once again.

In addition to the SunScreen answer, if you're using Solaris 10, there
are multiple other solutions.  The first is the one that comes with
the system:

  /usr/bin/digest -a md5 <file-path(s)>

The "digest" binary is in SUNWcsu, so it should be on every S10
system.

There's also /opt/csw/bin/gmd5sum if you've got the blastwave bits
installed, and /opt/sfw/bin/gmd5sum if you've got the Companion CD
installed.

To my dismay, CSWtextutils depends on too much *like ggettext
which I would rather not see in my system.

I will look at this too, thank you.

*shrug*

To each his own.  I personally don't care about the bloat because the
simplicity is more important to me, and disk space is really cheap.

But, in any event, I was just trying to list other possible options.
There are many here.  Not all of them will be acceptable to all users.

The problem seems to be that too many developers assume that Solaris
doesn't have facilities like `gettext' and `iconv'.  They tell people
to install the GNU versions, even though they are completely
unnecessary.  They even require `libiconv', even though those
functions are included in libc in Solaris.  Some of this
misinformation likely comes from peoples experience with ancient
versions of Solaris.  Modern versions don't have these problems.

Disk space is one thing, and dependency hell is quite another.
After FreeBSD it looks and feels quite ugly :((

And thank you very much for that.

Then build the utility yourself from the GNU textutils source:

[~]$ ldd `which md5sum`

        libnsl.so.1 =>   /lib/libnsl.so.1
