GAIM won't access MSN, lacking Secure Socket Layer. Keeping in mind that I'm a DOS geek from back in the day, but a Linux newbie, can anyone tell me how to get it working?

Many thanks!

I presume that you are using the standard 1.0.4 release?

Gaim uses the ssl libraries in Mozilla, and it did work last time I tested it, a couple of versions back.
If it isn't working in 1.0.4 and Moz is there, then it looks like a library version mismatch ...will have to recompile Gaim to work with the latest Moz.

I've removed Mozilla in favor of Firefox. I've got SSL 2.0, 3.0, and TSL enabled in Firefox settings. I don't suppose there's any chance you know what files need to be put back where..?

If all else fails, I'll make another CD and start over, a little more carefully. I guess that's one of the beautiful things about a multisession Live CD. :)
