(RMC) Re: [AP-UTILS] ap-utils on macosx

[Richard McDougall]

I believe this is an issue on all big-endian machines, including 
Solaris. I'll start to investigate what the issues are on both (there 
seems to be something up with the snmp write commands swapping bytes for 
configuration changes). Is anyone else on the list planning or already 
looking at these issues?

Thanks,

Richard.
