Check your SSLCipherSuite directive, please. I guess it's configured to not
contain RSA ciphers. Additionally you look at the debugging output of
"s_client". It shows you which cipher here was choosen. I think it wasn't a
RSA-based one. The background is just that Netscape only supports RSA-based
ciphers.
