The difference is that in my case the file names listed contain spaces, and md5sum chokes on them. How can I solve this?
Hmm, I've just tried reproducing your problem, but I cannot. my md5sum has no problem with blanks in the file name:
Me neither, I did your test:
md5sum *\ * > MD5SUM md5sum --status -c MD5SUM
and my files have all sort of spaces and strange chars. Maybe his MD5SUM file is not the direct output of the program.
my md5sum is from coreutils 6.4.
cer@nimrodel:~> rpm -q -f `which md5sum` coreutils-6.9-43
(opensuse 10.3)
nimrodel:~ # md5sum esp\ acio > MD5SUM nimrodel:~ # md5sum -c MD5SUM esp acio: OK nimrodel:~ # rpm -q -f `which md5sum` coreutils-6.11-9
(chrooted 11.0)
Thank you all for your answers. I will check again the error message of the md5sum command if I interpreted it correctly and will get back.
