First post, seeking help on the topic that will consume me for the next two weeks... We have to remove vendor supplied openssl.0.9.7.a and install from source 0.9.8L. Removing vendor openssl package also removes /lib/libcrypto.so.4, and that breaks lots of things like ssh. I didn't find libcrypto.so* in the newly built openssl stuff, am I missing more than usual?
what 'vendor' OS is this, and in what manner are you going to be using this 0.9.8L you're building ? we have a place where we need to do similar for a specific application, and rather than break just about everything in RHEL 4 that relies on its supplied libcrypto, we are building our openssl 0.9.8L in /usr/local/ssl and linking our specific applications against that version rather than the vendor version.
the alternative is rebuilding every single vendor dependency form their sources, and then retestnig the whole system and forgoing vendor support, which is not a trivial undertaking and would cause all kind of issues.
