    This is the first tim e I have visited the "new" HP patch database website.

    Digital/Compaq used to list the tar-ball file checksum in the <patch>.txt
    file that described the patch.
    I haven't been able to find anywhere that such a checksum is listed.

    How can I verify that I have downloaded the validated patch kit?
    In a security conscious environment there has to be some way of cross
    validating the tarball.
