--- Begin Message ---Package: openssl Version: 0.9.8g-16 Modern versions of openssl support many digest algorithms, including the full SHA-2 family (SHA-224 through SHA-512). But the man pages in 1ssl only seem to list algorithms up to (and including) sha1 for some reason. For example: > DGST(1SSL) OpenSSL DGST(1SSL) > > NAME > dgst, md5, md4, md2, sha1, sha, mdc2, ripemd160 - message digests > > SYNOPSIS > openssl dgst [-md5|-md4|-md2|-sha1|-sha|-mdc2|-ripemd160|-dss1] [-c] > [-d] [-hex] [-binary] [-out filename] [-sign filename] [-passin arg] > [-verify filename] [-prverify filename] [-signature filename] [file...] > > [md5|md4|md2|sha1|sha|mdc2|ripemd160] [-c] [-d] [file...] > and yet: 0 dkg@pip:~$ printf '' | openssl dgst -sha256 e3b0c44298fc1c149afbf4c8996fb92427ae41e4649b934ca495991b7852b855 0 dkg@pip:~$ The output of "openssl dgst -h" does appear to list all the supported ciphers, so this appears to be only a problem with the manual. Thanks for maintaining openssl in debian! --dkg
