Hmm.. also, is stronghold free? The price of Apache can't be beat.

Subject: Re: mod_ssl vs. Stronghold 3
Believe me, it is not a very time consuming job to configure and get
Apache/OpenSSL/mod_ssl up and running. If an applications guy like me can do
it ... and there are benefits, similar to those accruing from learning to
drive a car with a standard transmission versus an automatic. As a bonus you
always end up with the latest versions of the components. Strnghold is just
a commercial repackaging - albeit a clean one - but you STILL have to
configure. Presently I oversee an older version of Stronghold as well as
secure Apache. Neither has faltered.
And ... in tribute to this group, the one problem I did have was related to
the lack of a /dev/random device on my o/s. That was promptly diagnosed and
a permanent fix provided by the author of prngd for which I remain grateful.
Balance about 2/3 hours of your time against the $1000+ for Stronghold. (In
Canada with our Cretin Currency, thats more like $1600 and just not
acceptable, so my decision was even easier when the second system required
configuring!) Its your time and your money, I guess, but the alternative is
not a scary one.

now? Does anybody know if their are major differences in the way Stronghold
3 is set up that would prevent us from using mod_ssl instead? Thanks in
advance.
