print('they match')
else
print('they don't match')
end

Nice grammar :P/>
local function check(firstStr, secStr)
if firstStr ~= secStr then
return false
end
return true
end
Everything is better with functions ^_^/>

Since SHA1 is case-insensitive, I'd add to the above:
if string.lower(hash1) == string.lower(hash2) then
print('they match')
else
print('they don\'t match')
end
string.lower(), as you might guess, makes every letter lowercase and in the example above I do that with both hashes.
This makes sure that both are lowercase, which essentially means that we eliminated any case-differences.

Why not just
local function check(firstStr, secStr)
return firstStr == secStr
end
One of my pet peeves is when people use an if statement to then only return a boolean, just return the if statements condition!!!

Hehe, I'll have to remember that :P/> (Not to annoy you of course, I would never do that :)/>)
EDIT:
The if statement was for the OP, so he wouldn't be confused
