though there can be 2 md5 sums that are the same other wise people would
not be able to "crack" a password that has been md5sumed, and the
password they get might be a totally different password than the
original...

---- Once upon a time there was a DOS user who saw Unix, and saw that it
was good. After typing cp on his DOS machine at home, he downloaded
GNU's unix tools ported to DOS and installed them. He rm'd, cp'd, and
mv'd happily for many days, and upon finding elvis, he vi'd and was
happy. After a long day at work (on a Unix box) he came home, started
editing a file, and couldn't figure out why he couldn't suspend vi (w/
ctrl-z) to do a compile. -- Erik Troan, ewt at tipper.oit.unc.edu
