Stefan, has iMatix updated XiPro recently to fix the serious security
issues pertaining to SSLeay embedded in their code base (that is, have you
received any updated executables from iMatix)?

The last I knew, they have not updated the server and this leaves the
Xitami Pro web server open to several __very__ serious security issues that
allow multiple buffer overflow attacks (at least one of which code already
exists).  iMatix has known about these attacks for about 3 months now and
as far as I know they have done nothing about it.  If they have fixed this
problem, then that is one more thing that can be checked off of my internal
bug list.

Hope this helps!
