It clearly says "... If you recompile OpenSSL ...". But that isn't the case anymore, not in 6.0. It was before. It happened that when you recompile OpenSSL and it version differs from the one that was used to build OpenSSH, OpenSSH would panic about OpenSSL version being different and fail to work. -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/blfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
