*sigh* False alarm. I attached strace to the httpd processes and saw that some bit of code gives up immediately when it trips over a broken symlink in the directory that holds SSL root certificates. Regenerating the links (via update-ca-certificates -- this is on Gentoo Linux) cured that problem, and things are working again.
Now I need to track down just which layer of software (OpenLDAP? OpenSSL? HTTPD?) is failing to report why it gave up. -- Mark H. Wood, Lead System Programmer [EMAIL PROTECTED] Typically when a software vendor says that a product is "intuitive" he means the exact opposite.
