This may be a problem as RSA's implementation of MD5 has no license.
There are versions which do however (one included with samba IIRC, I
believe it's GPL'd.  You'll need one that's BSD'd) or you can write your
own md5 code which replaces RSA's following the RFC - the reference code
in the RFC is RSA's though, so you have to go by the text of the RFC if
you do that.

(We had the same problem about a year and a half ago with RSA's md4 code
and had to get a working GPL'd version..)
