Red Hat packages c_rehash in the openssl-perl package.

Nothing on a stock Red Hat 7.3 distribution installs anything in 
/usr/local/ssl.  Your system contains a combination of distribution 
packages, and manually installed software.  It is generally not recommended 
to manually install software on a system that uses a package manager, such 
as Red Hat.  Doing so eventually leads to system instability, and random 
problems that are difficult to diagnose.
