'scuse my ignorance.

But though I understand how that proves the point, surely the correct fix now 
would be to replace the openssl libs' to a version without the vulnerability, and 
reset that configuration option to "no"

AFIK, FBSD 10.0 was released before the HeartBleed bug was found, so unles 
you know you've updated it to a fixed version, there could be trouble ahead.

Just curious...

Dave B.    (I run '9.2 release' at home, that never had the trouble, AFIK.)

Rock, back under going.
