Why not create a symlink from /usr/local/bin/perl to /usr/bin/perl instead? You can install openssl in /usr/bin, however that would break several other programs in Red Hat 9, for example the openssh package so this isn't advisable. This is detailed in the FAQ at http://www.openssl.org/support/faq.html#BUILD8/. I really should update this section so that it never goes out of date! To the best of my knowledge the openssl that comes with Red Hat 9 is complete apart from not having new features and not using the patented MDC-2, IDEA and and RC5 algorithms. -- John Airey, BSc (Jt Hons), CNE, RHCE Internet systems support officer, ITCSD, Royal National Institute of the Blind, Bakewell Road, Peterborough PE2 6XU, Tel.: +44 (0) 1733 375299 Fax: +44 (0) 1733 370848 [EMAIL PROTECTED] On April 24th 2006 I'll be running in the London Marathon.
