Kindly help. Of course not. Both parties in a DH exchange MUST use the same parameters (prime AND generator, but you used 5 for the generator in both cases). THAT'S HOW DH WORKS. ______________________________________________________________________ OpenSSL Project http://www.openssl.org User Support Mailing List openssl-users@openssl.org Automated List Manager majord...@openssl.org
