Ok, I'll buy it if thats what y'all think.

Do you have an explanation for this?  Does the generated rpm not provide
those?  Am i looking to the wrong package to provide me libssl.so.2 and
libcrypto.so.2?  I have several rpms from redhat that say they require
these and openssl is the only ssl I'm willing to run (because its
awesome).

Basically, I'm fairly new to the redhat world.  I have experience with
other Linux distros and generally use the *BSDs for my personal boxen
(which don't give me these wierd problems)... so please forgive my newbie
attitude here.

Thanks so much for the help and the excellent software,
Jim
