Hi!
...and then [EMAIL PROTECTED] said...
% Why build with ssl?
Well, I assume you're not looking for an answer like "so it's available",
so...
SSL stands for something like Secure Socket Layer, and it's a method of
encryption for your network traffic between you and a server. It's what
web browsers use to make an https: connection, and what people who don't
like to send passwordss in the clear use to make the equivalent of a
telnet connection.
For more info on this sort of thing, check out www.openssh.org and follow
a few links.
