Hello,
I register today and there is a question

date -u +%jXfce|sha256sum|sed 's/\W//g'

the answer in terminal is

ksh: sha256sum: not found

This is not valid for registration and i think it is difficult for newbie to find the valid command

date -u +%jXfce|sha256|sed 's/\W//g'

Make sure your $PATH variable is properly set. This error message indicates that the sha256sum executable file cannot be found.

EDIT: Just read your other post and I see that you are running openBSD. Make sure that the sha256sum executable is installed on your computer and that the $PATH variable contains the path that the executable is installed in. Or, prefix the sha256sum executable with the full path to the file.

Re: Registration

sha256sum don't exist on openbsd neither on netbsd.
It come from GNU  coreutils and are not installed in standard installation.
That's why i say it's difficult for newbies to answer the question.

EDIT: The problem in my second post apply on netBSD to.
