[Xymon] sslcert question

Hi all,

I've been playing with the ssl networking tests and have an issue with
a host. I've setup SSL3/TLS1 on this particular server and explicitly
specified 256 and 168 bit ciphers.  On the sslcert page for that host it
lists the following ciphers even though anything less than 168 bits is
disabled. I confirmed separately using a browser that you can't connect
with the smaller cipher sizes and can with larger ones. We have another
site using IBM's version of apache (IHS) which does appear with the
correct available ciphers in the sslcert page. Any idea why are the
smaller ciphers showing as being enabled? 

This is SuSE Linux with: Apache/2.2.10 (Linux/SUSE) mod_ssl/2.2.10
OpenSSL/0.9.8h

apache config bits:

        SSLCipherSuite

        SSLProtocol -all +SSLv3 +TLSv1


thanks, Phil
