What kind of client do you use?
Try "openssl ciphers RSA" to find out the list of ciphers supported.
Use e.g. netscape to connect to "openssl s_server -ciphers RSA -debug"
to get detailed information on the ciphers for this case (128bit Netscape
with openssl 0.9.5a yields:
Shared
ciphers:RC4-MD5:DES-CBC3-SHA:DES-CBC-SHA:EXP1024-RC4-SHA:EXP1024-DES-CBC-SHA:EXP-RC4-MD5:EXP-RC2-CBC-MD5
CIPHER is RC4-MD5.
Then use your client to compare the result.
