An excellent question. My whole goal is to be able to create a module which will not
only create an SSL session and pipe any other app over it, but also let me entitle
the user according to the credentials obtained from the client certificate.

Subject: RE: Apps over SSL
Why do you think that OpenSSL is easier to use than OpenSSH? If you use
SSH then the application is already written. You don't need to write a
single line of C to get it running. OpenSSL on the other hand is mostly a
toolkit for programmers.
For an example of an SSL application, look at s_client in the OpenSSL
package, or Mozilla/Apache-SSL for something more usefull.
