sorry for the noise,

it was already answered, it is the prelinking


just some explanations ;-)

For information about prelink see "man prelink" and your configuration file 
/etc/sysconfig/prelink.

rpm -V takes care of the prelink issue. You can remove the changes done by 
prelink with

# prelink -u /usr/bin/md5sum

Afterwards /usr/bin/md5sum should be identically to /usr/bin/md5sum in the rpm package. md5sum belongs to coreutils. Unpack the coreutils rpm in /tmp:

# cd /tmp
# rpm2cpio coreutils-5.97-12.1.el5.i386.rpm | cpio -iudv

and compare /tmp/usr/bin/md5sum with /usr/bin/md5sum.

Hello!

stupid question, but I installed on five machines SL5.1
64bit last week. The hardware is identical Dell1950,
the memory and disk also. The os the package version
everything is the same, but when I made

md5sum /usr/bin/md5sum I get 5 different results:

cf12c39f723d9759946d72db955da002

and also on other sl5.1/64bit machines installed before with different hardware I always get different results.

and why is  rpm -V coreutils not complaining???
