I built up the md4 stuff that came across the net and tried to apply it to some of the stuff in the comp.sources.misc group. Every single article with a X-Md4-Signature header in it failed the test. Anyone else run into this?

It is computing the MD4 signature based on the assumption that inews will add your .signature file to the end. There is a flag to turn this off. But for normal use, compute the signature, append .signature and then test. -- =*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*= Neil W.
