However: for a cipher to be usable, the cipher must be compiled in _and_
the necessary certificates must be present. So for cipher with RSA
authentication, a RSA certificate must be present on the server side,
for a cipher with DSA authentication, a DSA certificate must be present
on the server side. All DSA ciphers and some RSA ciphers (with EDH)
also do need DH parameters. Openssl s_server has built in DH-parameters,
so the last point cannot be your problem.
