since I installed SuSE 7.2 on my systems, all sorts of connections are made via SSL. Of course this is a very good idea, and something I intended, but it also leads to a problem. Many network connections I need to make fail because the peer is unable to use SSL, and I can't find out how to turn off SSL on those connections.
I do want to use SSL with machines that are capable of SSL, but I also need to make non-SSL connections from time to time to get e-mail off an ancient VAX, to /dcc chat a friend in irc, that sort of thing...
I've been fiddling with openssl.cnf using the accompanying docs, to try and disable SSL for particular connections but so far to no avail. Can someone point me in the right direction?
openssl.cnf has nothing to do with SSL operations, it is used during certificate generation. You must read the per-application documentation on how to (de-)activate SSL.
