Should that be date -u -s?

You also need the flagged lines in leapseconds, as the SHA1 hash includes those digit strings:
#$ 3629404800
#@ 3660249600
...
#h 45e70fa7 a9df2033 f4a49ab0 ec648273 7b6c22c
It would be nice if NIST updated the hash to something secure, like SHA-512, and authenticated the file with a public key.

Take care. Thanks, Brian Inglis
