Ok, need to correct myself... it is not a patch that has the overflow, it is
RSAREF itself... do you know if this particular compilation has it
corrected, or was RSAREF compiled into OpenSSL?

Corinna,
	your patches work great, one last quick question, then I am done, I hope
:).  There is apparently an RSAREF patch out there with a buffer overflow
problem, I am still trying to track down the patch number.  If you happen to
know of it, did you apply that patch to the OpenSSL code?  If you don't know
of the one I am talking about, then I guess there is not much we can do
until I find that patch number ;)

Thanks

Password authentication leads to a valid hToken, any
other authentication leads to hToken == INVALID_HANDLE_VALUE.
So after authentication I check for non-password authentication
and equality of getuid() to uid of authenticated user.
