But, it should not make a difference if he is should it? The
documentation for the engine version states:
NOTES
=====
openssl-engine-0.9.6.tar.gz does not depend on openssl-0.9.6.tar, you do
not need to download both.
openssl-engine-0.9.6.tar.gz is usable even if you don't have an external
crypto device. The internal OpenSSL functions are contained in the
engine "openssl", and will be used by default.
No external crypto device is chosen unless you say so. You have
actively
tell the openssl utility commands to use it through a new command line
switch called "-engine". And if you want to use the ENGINE library to
do something similar, you must also explicitely choose an external
crypto
device, or the built-in crypto routines will be used, just as in the
default OpenSSL distribution.
So the engin version should be compatible with the non-engine version
unless there has been something I have missed in the list here or
elsewhere?
Thanks,
Ron DuFresne
