Sounds weird. What error do you get without that?

I really hope Box Backup becomes popular enough that these things 
become the problem of package maintainers, not the project author. I 
can dream, I suppose.

The client is unable to connect to the server.

What happens if you do

with the correct server name, from a client?

The instructions contain a few spurious and unnecessary steps (eg 
editing OpenSSL configuration files) but look OK at a quick glance.
