No clue about this.  I know that the SSLeay code on which Apache SSL 
relies does have some copyright problems as far as some of the encryption 
schemes if brought into the US.

I was able to successfully compile (httpsd) and install Apache-SSL under 
FreeBSD-2.1.5, 2.1.0 doesn't work.  The only problem is that the 
configuration has gotten me stumped and I haven't gone any further on 
it.

Yes, too bad because the communication server runs very well under 
FreeBSD-2.1.5.  It installs and runs without a single oddity.

Now all we need is a web based configuration interface for Apache, and 
it would KICK netscape's butt!
