Hello Carl,

Something else to look at, is the NSS library. very similar to OpenSSL but has some advantages over OpenSSL.

Can you let me know what these advantages are? A cursory Google search of NSS vs OpenSSL leads to the following interesting documents:

http://www.physics.louisville.edu/help/usr/nail-11.20/INSTALL (search for the string "OpenSSL offers" in this document)

http://www.gnu.org/software/gnutls/comparison.html

I've been trying to build NSS to no avail. It isn't quite easy as './configure; make' or 'yum install openssl-devel', but can pursue this further if NSS offers some compelling advantages over OpenSSL. (The only build instructions I've found are noted below, but they don't work.)

Cheers,
-J
