I guess by now Al's figured out he has to build the RSAREF library
and copy it to something like /usr/local/lib/librsaref.a in order
for the openssl link to find it.
I built openssl-0.9.5a with rsaref2 (with the buffer overflow patch
applied) on an Alpha running RedHat 6.2, and it hangs in "make test"
while checking the RSA stuff. OpenSSH built on top of this OpenSSL
version also hangs when it tries to call the RSA code. An strace
shows that it's in a tight loop not making any system calls. I
haven't tried any further debugging.
If I build OpenSSL with its internal RSA implementation, it works
fine and OpenSSH likes it as well. Since I'm inside the US, I'm
violating the patent (for another month or two) if I actually use
this version. I've done identical builds of RSAREF2,
openssl-0.9.5a, and openssh-2.1.1p3 on Solaris {6,7,8}, Intel Linux,
and Irix 6.x, and all work fine. It just stumbles on the Alpha.
Has anyone been here before? Or do I get to debug code on
unfamiliar hardware all by myself? :-)
