I'm trying this on a certificate file that has a known and verified private key and when it prompts me for the password, and I type it in, it always fails. I'm not sure of the problem. I tried inserting fprintf(stderr,"trace here\n"); statements and I get no output from anywhere where it seems I should. Can anyone make some suggestions. I'm completely stumped. -- Email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] (home home page: http://www.aa.net/~xeno) ______________________________________________________________________ OpenSSL Project http://www.openssl.org User Support Mailing List [EMAIL PROTECTED] Automated List Manager [EMAIL PROTECTED]
