Good morning,

I know I'm missing something simple, but at this point my head is spinning
so much I can't make sense of this pile of documents.

I've built the VC-WIN32 library using Andrew's incredible construction set.
All tests pass and everything seems to be fine. Now I'm trying to get
s_server and s_client to talk to each other on an NT4 workstation, using
only DH to set up RC4. I created a dhparam file with "openssl gendh >
dhparam.pem".

The basic commands (in two different shell windows) are:

    openssl s_server -tls1 -debug -nocert -dhparam dhparam.pem

    openssl s_client -tls1 -debug -cipher DHE-DSS-RC4-SHA

They consistently connect and drop out reporting "no shared cipher" errors.
I have tried this both with and without the -cipher parameter and get the
same results.

What else has to be set up or added to make this pair work together? Is
there a better cipher set to use for a DH-RC4 (128 bit) startup?

p.s. I now have an MSDOS library build that completes and passes most tests,
but ssltest.exe and some of the demos don't work yet due to differences in
the Novell sockets library calls. I will be going through the BIO_s_ calls
to write a shim for that problem in the next couple of weeks.

Thank you,
