 base problem is i cant get konqueror to make https: connections. following
 the faq at www.konqueror.org, i explicitly included --with-ssl in
 /usr/ports/x11/kdelibs2/Makefile and /usr/ports/x11/kdebase2/Makefile and
 rebuilt and reinstalled both kdelibs2 and kdebase2, in that order.

fixed this. libssl was trying to read /dev/urandom, but this was
originally set as mode 0600 with root as the owner, so it silently
died. chmod go+r /dev/urandom and https: on konqueror works like a charm.

now question is if openssl is reading /dev/urandom instead of /dev/random
or if the perms on /dev/urandom were wrong to begin with.

 one a related note, though i've got most of the files in /usr/lib dated
 March 7, 2001, a few of them are still dated July 28, 2000 as per the
 4.1-RELEASE i installed of the cd sets. as some of these include rsaref
 and libssl_p.a libraries, i was wondering if this was contributing to the
 problem.

 -r--r--r--   1 root  wheel 9196 Jul 28  2000 librsaUSA.so.1
 -r--r--r--   1 root  wheel 6394 Jul 28  2000 librsaUSA.a
 -r--r--r--   1 root  wheel 7158 Jul 28  2000 librsaUSA_p.a
 -r--r--r--   1 root  wheel  880 Jul 28  2000 libRSAglue_p.a
 -r--r--r--   1 root  wheel   244522 Jul 28  2000 libssl_p.a
 -r--r--r--   1 root  wheel 2284 Jul 28  2000 libRSAglue.so.1
 -r--r--r--   1 root  wheel  822 Jul 28  2000 libRSAglue.a

 if it isnt, would it be safe to rm these July 28th dated libraries out of
 /usr/lib ?

The *_p.a files are profiled libraries that can be safely removed from the
system.

librsaUSA.*, and libRSAglue.* have been integrated into the OpenSSL
distribution since the RSA patent has expired.  You may remove these
libraries if you have no ports that are still depending on them. Just
rebuild all ports that depend on OpenSSL.
