If we're talking npgsql (http://pgfoundry.org/projects/npgsql), that information is incorrect. Npgsql uses a managed implementation of SSL, so it does *not* use the OpenSSL libraries. If we're talking some other .net dataprovider (IIRC there is at least one other out there somewhere, though I haven't used it and can't remember exactly what it's called), then it may or may not be using openssl. //Magnus
