Thanks for the help.  :-)

So, the asterisk does matter to Cygwin md5sum when checking.

I wonder if line endings of the MD5SUMS file has anything to do with it?

2009-04-12 21:27:42 dpchrist AT p43400e /cygdrive/h/data/iso/debian
$ file MD5SUMS
MD5SUMS: ASCII text

2009-04-12 21:29:44 dpchrist AT p43400e /cygdrive/h/data/iso/debian
$ cp MD5SUMS MD5SUMS.dos

2009-04-12 21:30:18 dpchrist AT p43400e /cygdrive/h/data/iso/debian
$ unix2dos MD5SUMS.dos
MD5SUMS.dos: done.

2009-04-12 21:43:48 dpchrist AT p43400e /cygdrive/h/data/iso/debian
$ file MD5SUMS.dos
MD5SUMS.dos: ASCII text, with CRLF line terminators

2009-04-12 21:43:54 dpchrist AT p43400e /cygdrive/h/data/iso/debian
$ md5sum --check --warn MD5SUMS.dos 2>&1 | grep rescue

Nope.


I wonder if it's because my Cygwin is installed to use DOS line endings?
Switch it to Unix line endings and try again:

2009-04-12 21:51:39 dpchrist AT p43400e /cygdrive/h/data/iso/debian
$ md5sum --check --warn MD5SUMS 2>&1 | grep rescue

debian-live-500-i386-rescue.iso.list: OK
debian-live-500-i386-rescue.iso.log: OK
debian-live-500-i386-rescue.iso.packages: OK

Yup.  I wonder if this is a bug or a feature?
