I was just setting things up on an VIA epia 5000 mini-itx board. It does indeed have a C3 chip.
Hmmm. I have just spent the last day re-installing everything as a Woody system and compiled slapd so I could get TLS support. Everything works OK now with the Woody version of openssl. I guess it doesn't have the bug. I am glad to hear it was a bug and not just me stuffing up (again). I think I will stick with the Woody versions of everything now I have them working. Thanks for the reply. I didn't see any mention of the C3 related problem with my Google searches. Although I wasn't specifically searching for that. Regards.
