This is a misconfiguration - your SSL certificate is either missing, 
malformed, or unreadable by the user your jabberd is running as.

In the "c2s" section of jabber.xml you should have something like so:
	<ssl port="5223">10.2.6.205</ssl>

And in the <io> section of jabber.xml you should have:
	<key ip='10.2.6.205'>/usr/share/ssl/certs/jabberd.pem</key>

To generate that key go to the directory and type "make jabberd.pem",
or folllow the process outlined in the Jabber Admin manual.

Yes, that's a good idea as well, but won't help this paricular problem, 
as the server will sit in a nice loop spewing the SSL accept error 
message upon the first attempt to connect to port 5223.
