I tried on 1.3.3 and 1.4 i386 and sparc hosts.
For the same skey sequence# and key (whith the same passwd of course :),
sparc 1.3.3, sparc 1.4 and i386/1.4 gives the same result, but i386/1.3.3
gives a dufferent one. Maybe a endian problem was fixed (I didn't notice it
but as I don't use S/key I may well have missed it) ?
