	Don't know if he can or can't, but I can...

	Current was running on a different system (plover) which was

	Damn...  And I was hoping this would solve that problem, too...

	I've got a couple of other systems where up2date is not working
(A socket error occured: SSL_connect error) but this seems to be version
skew between python and the OpenSSL libraries (the working systems are
running RedHat OpenSSL 0.9.5 and the broken ones are running stock
OpenSSL 0.9.6) but that's to be expected, given RedHat's "patching"
of OpenSSL.  Sigh...  IAC...  That's NOT a current problem.
