hai everyone,
        i am new to ssl, i have spent some time going through openssl documentation.

i have generated a self signed root certificate using 
$ openssl req -x509 -newkey rsa:1024 -keyout mykey.pem 
     -out mycert.pem

and i am currently using the generated certificate and key on the sample server 
program i am currently writing(to understand ssl better). i am getting the following 
error 

*************** on the server *****************
1906:error:1408A0C1:SSL routines:SSL3_GET_CLIENT_HELLO:no shared cipher:s3_srvr.c:769:
Error: error in SSL_accept()
***********************************************
and on the client the connection is being disconnected
(as there are no common cipheres)

can u tell me what should be done inorder to overcome it?
and also the procedure to generate demo self signed certificate and key's, if i am 
wrong.

ps: i cannot afford to pay for Verisign or Thwathe certificates.

Thanks in advance
ganesh
