Based on the discussion on both the lists in the header, we at Sine Nomine have created a canned enabler system to allow anyone to activate and use the VM SSL support free of charge. Special kudos for this project go to Adam Thornton, who headed the engineering team for this tool.
The SSLSERV enabler system is available for download at http://www.sinenomine.net/debian/ssl. The page has a description of the function of the enabler, and how to get assistance with installing it and activating it. Note: IBM has not evaluated or reviewed this code, and makes no statement of support for it. We have tested it to the best of our ability, and found it to be functional and useful. If you find problems with this enabler, please report them to Sine Nomine as described in the installation document, *not* to IBM. We will attempt to duplicate the problem and fix it, or, if possible, duplicate the problem on an IBM-supported platform and pass the information on to IBM based on our ability to duplicate the problem. You can get to the page listed above only by registering and creating a userid at our site. We ask you to do this for two reasons: 1) so that we know who has it and how to contact you in case we need to send out an update to it. 2) to help us make the case to IBM that this kind of function needs to be in the basic product, not as a expensive add-on. Without hard data on who would use this function, it's hard for us to make the case, and even harder for IBM to make the management case that people need and want these functions. We plan to share the list of downloads with IBM to help make that case. The information will be kept private other than the two uses listed above. We also ask that if you find this useful, consider using the button at the bottom of the page to donate a small amount to fund future similar developments. If this is useful and successful, we'll do similar packages. Please don't hesitate to tell us if there's anything we've missed, or if you find this package useful, we also appreciate nice thank you notes...8-) -- db David Boyes Sine Nomine Associates ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For LINUX-390 subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the message: INFO LINUX-390 or visit http://www.marist.edu/htbin/wlvindex?LINUX-390
