Re: IMAPS and/or openssl problem

I'm trying to access my IMAPS (dovecot) server on my laptop

Both server and laptop are running Fedora 7 + KDE.

I suspect the problem lies in my openssl setup,
as when I run
openssl s_client -ssl2 -crlf -host <myserver> -port 993
I get no response - the program just waits until I press ctrl-C.

Any advice or suggestions gratefully received.

May be a dumb questions, but ... port 993 is open on the server (it's in
iptables, for example)? Can you telnet to port 993 on the server and
get some kind of response?

Thanks for your response.

Yes, I am running shorewall, and have
IMAPS/ACCEPT net $FW
in /etc/shorewall/rules .

When I run
telnet <myserver> 993
I just get
Trying <server IP address>
and nothing further, until I type ctrl-C.
Maybe it would time out if I left it long enough.

(With almost any other port, I get an immediate "Connection refused".)
