Hi,

md5sum was made line buffered sometime back. However, cksum was left out of that patch.

I tried running the following test on my machine for cksum, on the lines of test for md5sum, given in bug archives at: http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-coreutils/2009-10/msg00190.html. The test failed.

Shouldn't cksum too be made line buffered?

anoop@Aspire:~$ find / -type f 2>/dev/null | xargs -P2 -n 50 cksum 2>/dev/null | sed -n '/^[0-9]\{1,\} [0-9]\{1,\}/!p'
