SHA1 diffs

Hello,

I'm currently running tests on my early implementation of known_hosts checks,
but I've crashed into a problem I thought I'd ask you lot for advice about
before I go to bed and try further tomorrow.

It's about the sha1 hash checks. My code fails to get the same hash output as
the openssh code does! The openssh does (using OpenSSL functions):

         md = EVP_sha1();
         HMAC_Init(&mac_ctx, salt, len, md);
         HMAC_Update(&mac_ctx, host, strlen(host));
         HMAC_Final(&mac_ctx, result, NULL);
         HMAC_cleanup(&mac_ctx);

while we have a "generic" crypto layer that is slightly different so my code
does:

         libssh2_sha1_init(&ctx);
         libssh2_sha1_update(ctx, node->salt, node->salt_len);
         libssh2_sha1_update(ctx, host, strlen(host));
         libssh2_sha1_final(ctx, hash);

Outputting the 'salt' and the 'host' buffers at these points in both
functions, show them to be identical. Thus the code flow is not the right one
as the final hashes are different.

I figure HMAC_Init() + HMAC_Update() simply isn't the same as
libssh2_sha1_init() + libssh2_sha1_update() + libssh2_sha1_update(). Does
anyone around here know this stuff?

I'm planning to post an early version of my work tomorrow or so.
