I think that OpenSSL uses an internal version of zlib. Personally, I would prefer that for an important security application like this. If there is a problem with zlib, it won't be propagated to OpenSSL and if there is a problem with the internal version of zib, I would expect the OpenSSL package to be quickly updated. -- Bruce -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/blfs-dev FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
