Small, picky patch

From: Eric M. Hopper <hopper_at_omnifarious.org>
Date: 2003-05-27 13:02:20 CEST

The message about the security of the ssl overrides is overly alarmist.
The only ssl- options that cause security problems in the servers config
file are the ssl-ignore ones.

I, personally, think that global CAs are next to useless, so specifying
your own allowed certificate list, or your own allowed CA is fine, and
doesn't decrease security at all. And specifying a client certificate
_certainly_ doesn't decrease security.

Attached is a patch that fixes the wording.

Have fun (if at all possible),
