md5sum on ps binary

[Jeremy Eder]

I have a number of RHEL4 Update3 web servers.

All were installed at the same time, and are kept up to date via RHN.

My question is why the output of md5sum is as follows:

root at web1: ~ # md5sum /bin/ps
3123a3d974c68de301114b5eb9b09b73  /bin/ps 

root at web2: ~ # md5sum /bin/ps
967c0fa08867a8031ccd4d28744d7a0f  /bin/ps 

root at web3: ~ # md5sum /bin/ps
c22815c887f4d0847c6253cb909b6870  /bin/ps 


All 3 servers show the following

-r-xr-xr-x  1 root root 66416 Nov 21  2005 /bin/ps

Can anyone see what would cause this ?
