[Bug 955675] Re: openssl s_client's '-ssl2' option no longer works in 12.04

[Elliott Frantz]

The -ssl2 option is an important tool for users to verify SSLv2 has been
disabled on a particular service. For this reason alone I strongly
recommend re-enabling this functionality.

Cheers

Title:
  openssl s_client's '-ssl2' option no longer works in 12.04

Status in “openssl” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  the s_client(1) man page describes -tls1, -ssl3 and -ssl2. The latter
  isn't recognised by openssl in 12.04:

  aj at aj-Vostro-260:~$ openssl version
  OpenSSL 1.0.0g 18 Jan 2012
  aj at aj-Vostro-260:~$ openssl s_client -ssl2
  unknown option -ssl2
  usage: s_client args
  <snipped>
  aj at aj-Vostro-260:~$ openssl s_client -ssl3
  connect: Connection refused
  connect:errno=111
  aj at aj-Vostro-260:~$ openssl s_client -tls1
  connect: Connection refused
  connect:errno=111
  aj at aj-Vostro-260:~$ 

  This option should still continue to work, please do not leave
  disabled.
