System: NetBSD zembla.Princeton.EDU 1.6_STABLE NetBSD 1.6_STABLE (ZEMBLA) #46: Thu Jan 30 01:03:21 EST 2003 richards@zembla.Princeton.EDU:/home/richards/z/src/kern i386
Architecture: i386
Machine: i386
>Description:
Running "etcupdate -a" stores checksums in MD5 format. These
checksums are compared to checksums in "sum" format, however, so
the comparison is always false, rendering "-a" a nop.
>How-To-Repeat:
Code inspection.
>Fix:
Patch follows. (Should apply to -current, too.)
