SSL

[Robert Dinse <nanook@eskimo.com>]

     The SSL server, commerce.eskimo.com is back up.  Hardware is still sick
but I managed to get it to boot and make it all the way to being operational. 

     These machines (LX's) have some sort of a generic problem where the power
supplies 12 volt output gets sick, and then the disks start to take seek errors
all over the place or sometimes won't even spin up.

     The only reason I ran commerce as a seperate server (because the load is
trivial) is because that Stronghold SSL module would only run under an antique
version of Linux and couldn't peacefully coexist with a normal server.

     Now that RSA has released their patent into public domain, the only reason
I had for using Stronghold, legalities, is gone.

     So I am attempting to get Apache_SSL up on the main server.  I did get the
SSL libs to compile, the Apache with SSL extensions to compile, but I haven't
yet figured out how to make it use the digital certificate, start it in secure
mode, etc.
