Subject: do md5sums differ across architectures?

Hi,

I ran md5sum on a big bz2 archive on my ppc linux box and then
ftp'd it to my Sun Solaris 7 box at work.

I checked it with md5sum on that machine and it differed.

Okay I thought, a bad packet during upload.

So I tried again, same result.

I then passed back and forth (known good archives) and the md5sums
were different.

Okay, I thought maybe an endian issue but both Solaris Sparc and PPC
Linux are big endian.

Should these sums be different?

Thanks,

Kevin
