Hi there,

I recently installed ssl 3.2.0 under Solaris 5.8 and works fine.
But I noticed something weird and I don't know if this is normal.

I issued the following commands:

openssl dgst -md5 /etc/passwd > $HOME/md5_file
openssl rsautl -encrypt -inkey $HOME/my_key.pem -in $HOME/md5_file -out
$HOME/rsa_file
openssl base64 -A -in $HOME/rsa_file -out $HOME/rsa_base64

and the file rsa_base64 has the 172 printable chars. If I issue the three
above commands, the
content of the rsa_base64 is not the same as the first one generated. And
so on.

Is something missed on configuration or what to avoid this. Maybe I have a
wrong idea about how
this works. If the source (md5) is the same, and the key is the same, the
encryption should be
the same whenever I issue the commands.

Please, let me know about this.

Jerry.
