Folks Thanks to the all the people who replied. Half seemed to think that you did not need to recompile openssh the other half said you had to. However I believe Dan Astoorian has the answer. ------------------------------------------------------------------- > My feeling is no because openssh and other such programs were not compiled as > a static programs. Are you certain of that? I don't know what versions you're using or where you got them from, but the default for OpenSSL is to build static libraries only. Furthermore, if you are using dynamic libraries, then depending on what version you upgraded to and from, the application interface may not be compatible between OpenSSL releases. The INSTALL file for OpenSSL explicitly says: | Shared library is currently an experimental feature. The only reason to | have them would be to conserve memory on systems where several program | are using OpenSSL. Binary backward compatibility can't be guaranteed | before OpenSSL version 1.0. This basically means that if OpenSSH is compiled to use dynamic OpenSSL libraries, then upgrading the libraries may or may not break OpenSSH. ------------------------------------------------------------------ Which means that all programs that rely on openssl need to be re-compiled. Looks like I have a busy morning re-compiling openssl , openssh , openMoreHoles Matt Matthew Garrett Unix System Support Shell Information Technology International Limited Seafield House, North Anderson Drive, Aberdeen AB15 6GZ, United Kingdom _______________________________________________ sunmanagers mailing list sunmanagers@sunmanagers.org http://www.sunmanagers.org/mailman/listinfo/sunmanagersReceived on Thu Oct 2 05:06:27 2003
