MD5 for powerpc

Hi,

I'm using MD5 for SNMPv3 authentication. I'm using net-snmp agent.
I am running the SNMP agent on a powerpc (motorol processor). When I send a request from an intel processor pc (linux) to this agent, EVP_md5() (called from HMAC ()) hash function generates a wrong code. The only difference being in the Address byte ordering (power pc is big-endian, intel pc is little-endian). For this I set LOWBYTEFIRST FALSE, and called MDreverse () after each call to MDupdate ().


Any idea what could be the problem ?

Thanks,
Guru
