On suse10, md5sum myname gives md5 hash as 49b0939cb2db9d21b038b7f7d453cd5d
The file myname contains string "ravi"
while some of the online md5 hash generators for the same string seem to give a different hash
http://md5-encryption.com/ http://www.miraclesalad.com/webtools/md5.php
They spit out the hash for "ravi" as 63dd3e154ca6d948fc380fa576343ba6
Why is there a difference in md5sum for the same string "ravi" ?
