Under Netscape, I can log in fine, so this is not a web server/ Network
connection problem. 
When I try to log in under mozilla 0.97, I get an Unknown Socket Type exception
window, preventing me from logging in. 
I am using RH 7.2 on an intel celeron, have a DSL PPOE connection, and am using
IP Masquerading through ip tables. Please let me know if you need further info,
I will try to respond to all requests.  

Reproducible: Always

Actual Results:  4.Window will pop up with error. "Unknown Socket Type. Loading
Aborted" 
5.Works fine under Netscape. 

Expected Results:  Should log into service

You need to install the PSM module which is needed for secure connections.  If
you installed Mozilla via RPM, you need the mozilla-psm package.  Otherwise, it
is turned on by default during the install -- don't uncheck it :)

Also, please don't set target milestones.  That is for developers to say when
they can fix it by.

Thanks for helping test Mozilla and good luck with getting PSM to work :)
