[see the "Linux -- Strongly Advise Against..." message for the ssh
patch, sorry]

Ok, now here's my question to the OpenSSL list, since I know Ralf and
Ben read it.  Where should I go to look for/talk about how I may patch
mod_ssl to overwrite the REMOTE_USER environment variable with the value
of SSL_CLIENT_S_DN_CN if I turn on an option, let's call it
+SSLRemoteUser, for a Location element?  I would like to make mod_ssl /
ApacheSSL act in a fashion that lets Apache Jserv users transparently
create sessions based on the contents of a user's DN_CN, and the Servlet
API only specifies that servers ought to jam this information into the
value retrieved by req.getRemoteUser().  So I went to the bookstore and
bought the Apache module book, but it's still unclear to me where I need
to start.  I have programmed in C/C++ off and on for two years so it's
more a matter of guidance than syntax.  Anyways, any assistance would be
greatly appreciated because this will then let the Java-Apache project
"Dash" able to use client-side SSL yet remain server-independent.

I sent Ralf an email and looked for a mod_ssl developer list of some
sort, as well, but neither has been fruitful yet.  Any help will be much
appreciated (and ought to make it into mod_ssl 2.3.x with any luck).

Thanks in advance,
