Mark is right, however, there are a few issues with this approach, as
i have been going through the exact same thing. The major issue is
that it requires a newer version of openssl to be compiled and
installed which breaks some dependencies on the box. I am intereted in
hearing if anyone out there still running FC2 has gotten this figured
out including all the dependencies on libssl.so.4, etc.
