Folks

As part of an exploration, I have used the openssl command line tool in 
Redhat 7.1 and successfully:
- created a self-signed ca cert
- created an end-entity cert
- Using openssl smime, I've signed a text message.
- Using openssl smime, I've verified the text message
And that took some doing (the doc's are far from clear).

I am unable do to this, however, with a binary file.  I tried to append the 
word "-binary" to my
openssl smime -sign ....
command, but the verification step always fails with a message digest 
error.  The exact message that shows up is:

5644:error:21071065:PKCS7 
routines:PKCS7_signatureVerify:digest  failure:pk7_doit.c:762
followed by another message about verify failure.

Is there a way to use the command line tool for signing binary data?

Thanks for your help

David
