You're saying you've got a RaQ4 with all the upgrades, and you can admin
it using a self-signed cert from a Netscape browser?

Please clarify.  If you are, then you're a good "control" and I'd
appreciate it if we could look at this together a bit further.

Thanks!

It works fine. I am using communicator 4.7. The first time I went to the site using netscape after setting up my personally signed certificate it asked a few questions. Someone said 7 screens (who cares). I answered them and told it to trust "me". If I can't trust me, I then I am in trouble. Now when I go to the same admin page as I use in IE, it asks me to login just as IE does (but a smaller box). Everything works the same at this point. I have not installed any programs on my computer other than the upgrades. I did have someone (Carrie) set up IPChains, PortSentry, Logcheck and ssh for me.

I don't find anything that does not work. All my other sites work as they did in the past.
