I have downloaded and installed the rpms so kindly contributed to your
web site -- apache-mod_ssl-1.3.3-2.1.0-2.i386.rpm and
SSLeay-0.9.0b-3.i386.rpm -- and have got the server running.

I have successfully created a Certificate Authority and a server
certificate.

It runs very well and the potted setup has got me up and running
quickly.

I have started a step-by-step alteration of the existing configuration
with the introduction (uncommenting) of the SSLRequire directive in
httpd.conf -- initially I want to restrict access to people logged in
on one machine, I have

  SSLRequire %{REMOTE_ADDR} =~ m/^127\.0\.0\.1$/

(numbers changed to protect innocent machines)

On stopping and restarting httpd with

  apachectl startssl

it fails with

   Syntax error on line 499 of /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf:
   SSLRequire not allowed here
   /usr/sbin/apachectl startssl: httpd could not be started

but the User Manual (thanks, it's excellent) says it is allowed in
server config, virtual host, directory and .htaccess

What to do, master?
