bugger,
what's the command to do a hex dump of files on linux? I asked this somewhere before and forgot the answer!
(need a brain - computer memory interface so it can remember things for me and then I could just fuzzy search things...)

Try 'apropos dump' next time you forget!

'od' or 'hexdump' will do (hexdump appears to be installed by default on a fully loaded but old RH box here, however it's annoying because by default it doesn't do intel-style output - you have to fiddle with format statements).
