Does anyone know of a shareware or commercial product that can be used to
generate checksums on UNIX files?  Similar to McAfee's VALIDATE program?

[Ed. Most UNIX flavors come with a simple checksum called "sum".  In
addition, Ralph Merkle at PARC has a program called Snefru (I believe
it's in a testing stage, but is readily obtainable), and RSA has a
signature program called MD4.  I'm sure that there are others also.]
