Hello, > I have following questions regarding digest creation using openssl. > Would really appreciate if someone could please reply? We are using > OpenSSL 0.9.7a Feb 19 2003. > 1. openssl dgst -sha1 xyz.tar.gz or openssl dgst –md5 xyz.tar.gz > creates a digest for xyz.tar.gz file.

$ tar cf - /tmp | openssl dgst -sha1 ff8beb2170120e125604cba279a6e616dbc603e9 > 1. openssl can create a md5, sha1 digest for a given file. Can > openssl create sha2 digest? Man page suggests dgst can take > sha256 or sha512 as argument but when I use this, it complains > as an invalid option for argument. You must have 0.9.8 or above to have sha256/sha512 Best regards, -- Marek Marcola <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> ______________________________________________________________________ OpenSSL Project http://www.openssl.org User Support Mailing List openssl-users@openssl.org Automated List Manager [EMAIL PROTECTED]
