This patch allows lcksum to be run on a client system.
Use cases:
- Change a config file until it's correct, lcksum the corresponding
transcript, upload.
- Verify that the transcript that you're about to upload is correct.
- Generate checksums and prebound checksums (see prebind
patch)
I know that lcreate -n already does the verification, but lcreate is the
tool you use to upload transcripts.
Lcksum is the tool you use to verify and fix transcripts.
Following the unix philosophy, lcksum should be used.
The patch is fairly straightforward. It applies against a vanilla 1.5.0
tarball.
If you want to use both that and the prebind patch, you'll need to apply
some small changes manually, since some of the same lines are
changed in both patches.
Wout.
