I have just downloaded the 19990208 version of the Digital Unix I have just
downloaded v4.0d jumbo patch kit #3, as well as the recently released
edauth-related security patch (ssrt0588u). None of the resultant checksums for
the associated files match those posted on
http://ftp.service.digital.com/public/dunix/v4.0d/. Are the advertised
checksum's calculated using /usr/bin/sum? Should these discrepancies concern
us, or is it likely that the advertised checksums are simply bogus?
