In my case, my jabberd is not opening up that port at all- no listening socket,
thus no SSL connections. netstat proves this, as does this:

$ openssl s_client -connect 192.168.1.12:5223
connect: Connection refused
connect:errno=61

I'm not sure if there's some finicky part of the configuration that I am
missing, or if this is a bug with the openSSL libraries and jabber on FreeBSD.
