I'm not sure it will be called on every conceivable error in the FIPS
module, but what I do in similar situations is something like this:
static int post_cb(int op, int id, int subid, void *ex)
{
if (op == FIPS_POST_FAIL)
system("/bin/fipserror");
return 1;
}
And there somewhere:
FIPS_post_set_callback(post_cb);
