Hi all,
One for any gurus on this list (I know you are out there)

I am attempting to set up a secure pop server (pop3s) on a RH7.2 box. I 
have followed all the instructions (not that they are easy to find), 
creating a self-signed certificate including both private key and 
certificate in the same file, at /usr/share/ssl/certs/imapd.pem

The correct hole is punched in the firewall config: 995

The imapd package, allegedly, comes preconfigured to use a certificate at 
the above-mentioned location in secure mode. So, in theory, that should be 
fine.

On to the testing phase:

[]# openssl s_client -connect localhost:995 -prexit  (*)

gives the following output
CONNECTED(00000003)
write:errno=104

* tested both with localhost and the full machine name, with absolutely no 
difference.

So, I tried it with

[]# openssl s_client -connect localhost:995 -prexit

getting a little more info....

CONNECTED(00000003)
write:errno=104
---
no peer certificate available
---
No client certificate CA names sent
---
SSL handshake has read 0 bytes and written 124 bytes
---
New, (NONE), Cipher is (NONE)
---

It would appear that this is an openssl error, though just where it 
originates from, I am not sure. It could be that ipopd isn't automatically 
compiled with SSL support. It could be that the key file location or name 
is incorrectly documented. It could be something totally different.

Has anyone on the list come across a similar problem, and more to the point 
managed to get it working?

Thanks
  - Rick
