What am I missing here?
I'm finding that /bin/bash is identical in every way (size, date
stamp, version) on two identical systems except for the MD5 checksum.
How is this possible?
Do you have prelink installed and enabled? By default, I believe that
it's run with -R, which randomizes the address space to protect the
executable from certain kinds of exploits.
Check out the man page for 'prelink' for more details, or read the
Wikipedia page: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prelink
