No. The md5 is used so that your actual secret does not have to be 
transmitted in plaintext.  The concatination of the random key and the 
secret is computed by both sides and hashed, if these two intermediate 
forms of your secret are the same you are authenticated.

Is your FOP on a different machine?  If so, you'll have to explicitly 
add its IP or remove the deny statement, as it is blocking all IPs on 
all subnets.
