You mean like this?

$ echo this |openssl dgst -sha256
c18d547cafb43e30a993439599bd08321bea17bfedbe28b13bce8a7f298b63a2
$ echo -n this |openssl dgst -sha256
1eb79602411ef02cf6fe117897015fff89f80face4eccd50425c45149b148408

As the last reply pointed out, pay attention to the -n.

On my system, the first is hashing 5 bytes:
0x74, 0x68, 0x69, 0x73, 0x0A
while the second is hashing the 4 bytes
0x74, 0x68, 0x69, 0x73

HTH,

Geoff
