	Dag-Erling,

	i have to apologize for the question.

	The problem was implied by me, since i put in my /etc/make.conf, MAKE_IDEA=yes. It seems, the FreeBSD 6.2-RELEASE is not built with this option set and the original SSL libraries do not have support for IDEA in them.

	I have commented the option and after the re-build of patched SSL libraries i have all services working fine as before.

	Best regards,

		Vladimir
