It was ok, I actually run both here (win2k and mandrake) but the problem was 
on my win2k box.  I ended up figuring out that I needed a different version 
of md5 and that solved the problem.  Thanks for everybodies help.  
Essentially I want to set up a signature verification system like tripwire, 
but I have no budget so I'm attempting to do it for free.  Unfortunately all 
the free tools like osiris, samhain, etc. only run on linux, which doesn't 
help my win2k boxes at all.  I think I'm going to end up scripting something 
using the perl digest::md5 module and mysql but it will probably be a few 
months before I can do it.
