Great, I could of thought auf that by myself, but once again, finding
the problem was like finding an elephant through a microscope.

Thanks for straightening me out! :-)

Did you install a port with an extended openssl or is there some trick
to this? My manpage for openssl doesn't even include sha256, only md2,
md5, mdc2, rmd160, sha (which will probably be sha-0) and sha1. Did I
miss something?
