Just wondering if anyone has any suggestions as to a nice approach for validating sequence files and configuration property files (labview). to ensure the operator/customer has not modified the production version of the seq file. We're using the MD5 utility to generate checksums for some of these files. As far as I can tell, there's no way to embed the checksum in the sequence file itself, since you have to know the checksum first. Anyway, this means that all checksums would have to be stored in some other (known) file(s) read at runtime. Any suggestions on how to go about this?
