Re: trojans on ftp sites

Neither sum nor crc-32 are worth the bits they're stored in, for
this purpose; both are easy to spoof.  If you're going to do it,
do it right:  md5.

Not that I'm convinced it's a good idea.  If an ftp site is compromised,
its ls-lR file and/or its ls command are likely to be dead meat
(dead silicon?) as well.  There's also the problem of different
versions, .Z vs .gz, etc.
