well, ciphers - yes. If you don't do it, openssl gives you a default cipher list. certificates - not all the time. If you're using a ADH cipher, certificates are not needed, but then most of the time you need identity verification which means you need to use certs. -jb -- No snowflake in an avalanche ever feels responsible. ______________________________________________________________________ OpenSSL Project http://www.openssl.org User Support Mailing List openssl-users@openssl.org Automated List Manager [EMAIL PROTECTED]
