As far as i remember, i don't see why modification times will enter in the md5sum computation process, as they are not part of the file but of the filesystem's inode... it's definitely possible to compare two binaries on two different system if they are compiled with the same compiler version and libraries ! -- Blog: http://gentooist.com Twitter: http://twitter.com/blakawk
