SSL Handshake Error.

[Subramaniam Iyer]

Hi,

Am trying connect to a private XMPP server using pidgin on ubuntu and
it errors out with " SSL Handshake Error". This works when I use
pidgin on a windows platform. Any assistance would be appreciated. (Am
trying to move away from Windows to Ubuntu :) ).

Details as below:

uname -a output:

Linux si-ubuntu 2.6.31-19-generic #56-Ubuntu SMP Thu Jan 28 01:26:53
UTC 2010 i686 GNU/Linux

Pidgin Log Output : <<have replaced the chat server and domain names
with "chat" and "domain" respy.>>
