Honestly, *I* do not spend much more work into this issue. MySQL does not support OpenSSL, has no active plans for a different SSL engine and does not even ship their official binary packages with SSL. And I don't like the idea of someone finding security related bugs in unmaintained code somewhen after Sarge's release. Also adding yet another library into the already much too bloaten control files is also nothing I would be eager to. For simple secure transmissions users can still use simple ssl-tunnel applications. So, I'm currently a bit frustrated by this OpenSSL issue *g* What do you think? bye, -christian- -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
