bug in sha1sum
I have just been looking at the man page for sha1sum, and saw the options: -b, --binary read in binary mode -t, --text read in text mode (default) There is no further explanation of what these options mean. I assume that binary mode means to read the file as it is, and report the checksum, and that reading in text mode will perform some unspecified transformation of the file before computing the sum. This would seem to be a bug. If I type sha1sum filename I want the checksum of the named file, not the checksum of some unspecified transformation of the file. To add this as an option may be acceptable, if the transformation is specified, common and useful, but under no circumstances should giving a checksum of something other than the file be the default action.

Tsclient no Ubuntu 8.04
Olá, Gostaria de saber se alguém pode me ajudar. Pois, toda vez que eu utilizo o tsclient (RDP) ou VNC. O mouse não entra na aplicação remota. Apenas local, como faço para resolver isto?

You have reached the GNU Coreutils mailing list. The GNU Coreutils are the basic file, shell and text manipulation utilities of the GNU Operating System. You can learn more about GNU Coreutils here: http://www.gnu.org/software/coreutils/ The GNU Coreutils are part of the GNU Operating System. You can learn more about the GNU Project here: http://www.gnu.org/ But you are asking about tsclient and vnc and how the mouse works with it. I am sorry but this is the wrong mailing list. We do not know anything about those applications. Since you say that you are using Ubuntu then the Ubuntu users mailing lists would be a better source of information. http://www.ubuntu.com/support/communitysupport http://www.ubuntu.com/support/community/mailinglists Bob ___ Bug-coreutils mailing list Bug-coreutils@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-coreutils

Coreutils manpages tend to be short reference sheets listing the available options. Further documentation is provided in the info command, as should be mentioned as the end of each manpage. From the docs: `-b' `--binary' Treat each input file as binary, by reading it in binary mode and outputting a `*' flag. This is the inverse of `--text'. On systems like GNU that do not distinguish between binary and text files, this option merely flags each input file as binary: the MD5 checksum is unaffected. This option is the default on systems like MS-DOS that distinguish between binary and text files, except for reading standard input when standard input is a terminal. `-t' `--text' Treat each input file as text, by reading it in text mode and outputting a ` ' flag. This is the inverse of `--binary'. This option is the default on systems like GNU that do not distinguish between binary and text files. On other systems, it is the default for reading standard input when standard input is a terminal.
