md5sum never matches

[nicholasvmoore]

I have confd configured to watch an etcd2 cluster for key changes and the config gets written every 10 seconds and never end. But what seems to be the most strange is that the MD5SUM reported is always one permutation behind.

Could be the datetime will always change on the polling interval? Which will change the MD5SUM. I'd try removing that to see what happens.

Yes, its the date time feature. I think this is a duplicate issue
