ольга крыжановская:
AFAIK AST sum(1) supports an environment variable to switch between
default hash sums, one bsd and one System V. Does some one remember
which var this controls?

Hi Olga,

According to its man page, this can be controlled by the getconf UNIVERSE parameter:

-x, --method|algorithm=method
Specifies the checksum method to apply. Parenthesized method options are readonly implementation details.

att|sys5|s5|default

The system 5 release 4 checksum. This is the default for sum when getconf UNIVERSE is att. This is the only true sum; all of the other methods are order dependent.

Regards,
Henk
