ssl database connection problems...

I'm still having problems with ssl.  My ssl_ciphers line in
postgresql.conf looks as the following:

ssl_ciphers 'ALL:!ADH:!LOW:@STRENGTH'

When I try to connect to the database from another system I get this
error...

walterc@cat:~$ psql -p 5433 -U walterc -d walterc -h db
psql: SSL SYSCALL error: EOF detected

When I try to connect to the database from another host, I get this
error...

walterc@cat:~$ psql -p 5433 -U walterc -d walterc -h db
psql: SSL SYSCALL error: EOF detected

The entries in the data834.log file are as follows;

Do you have any ideas for me to try to solve this problem?

Thanks,
