Wireshark-users: [Wireshark-users] Decode SSL?

Title: Decode SSL?

Hi

I've read the Wireshark v0.99.4 can decode SSL.  I built v0.99.4 on SLES 9 SP3 (32-bit x86) where I have openssl/openssl-devel 0.9.7d-15.32 (including the source for openssl) installed.  The Wireshark ./configure procedure displays:

"Checking whether to use SSL library - yes
Use SSL crypto library : yes"

I do have gnutls and libgcrypt installed.  ./configure sees this:

"gnuTLS found, enabling SSL decryption"

But when I use wireshark to capture a packet exchange between openssl s_client running on one system and openssl s_server running on another, wireshark does not recognize that the TCP packets contain SSL.

What do I need to do to get SSL decoding enabled on Linux?

Thanks
