Description of problem:
When I use rhn_register from either a shell or Xwindows session the first 
screen loads, then hangs and gives me:

A socket error occured: SSL_connect error, attempt #1 x's 5
 

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
# rhn_register --version 
Red Hat Network Registration Agent v2.7.2 
Copyright (c) 1999-2001 Red Hat, Inc. 
Licensed under terms of the GPL. 

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.run rhn_register
2.sit back
3.watch errors
	

Actual Results:  # rhn_register 
A socket error occured: SSL_connect error, attempt #1 
A socket error occured: SSL_connect error, attempt #2 
A socket error occured: SSL_connect error, attempt #3 
A socket error occured: SSL_connect error, attempt #4 
A socket error occured: SSL_connect error, attempt #5 

Expected Results:  In either a shell or Xwindows session this should allow me 
to register my system so I can use the automatic update features of up2date.
