Installation problem

Help!

I'm installing Current 1.0.2 on a RedHat 7.2 server, and while it seems like
everything should be working, when I go to start rhn_register (v2.7.2) on a
client, the client complains "A socket error occured: SSL_connect error" 5 times
and then exits.  The current server has been started (on port 7080), and the
stunnel has been started (on port 7443).

Any assistance you can render would be greatly appreciated!

BTW, while I was doing the setup, I noticed that 'cadmin initconfig' was
printing an error message (because I forgot to init the database, bad me) to
STDOUT, instead of STDERR.  This was causing the /etc/init.d/current script to
try and execute the error message.  So I changed line 65 from this:

print 'Removing stale pid_file %s\n' % config.cfg.getItem('pid_file')

to this:

sys.stderr.write('Removing stale pid_file %s\n'%config.cfg.getItem('pid_file'))
