Hello,
This is slightly off topic, but seems to be the best place for a good answer.
I have been doing some research into secure random number generators and 
noticed that Netscape and Opera only send a 16 byte random value in their
client hello message, while OpenSSL and IE 5 send the full 32 bytes.  Then I
noticed the SSL_OP_NETSCAPE_CHALLENGE_BUG flag in ssl23_client_hello(), which
seems to make OpenSSL perform the same way as Netscape and Opera when set and
a note in bugs/SSLv3 about Netscape-Commerce/1.12 only using 16 of the 32 
bytes when using SSLv2.  

Does anyone know how widespread the SSLv2 server problem is?  Is it only
Commerce 1.12 that does this or are there others?  I would appreciate any info
you have on this.

thanks,
brian
