I don't know of any packages in BLFS that use the static libraries by default or our instructions. Some users may, however have done that for themselves. -- Bruce -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/blfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page

If you are _serving_ anything which links to openssl then you will need to bounce those services (i.e. stop them and restart them). For a desktop, I guess that closing the browser(s) and reopening those should be sufficient. ĸen -- das eine Mal als Tragödie, dieses Mal als Farce -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/blfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page

At lwn.net [ thread https://lwn.net/Articles/593683/ - might be subscriber only ] someone suggests running this after the upgrade : grep -l 'libssl.*deleted' /proc/*/maps | tr -cd 0-9\\n | xargs -r ps u (as root) On my current desktop machine that shows the following : root 2206 0.0 0.0 37016 1260 ?Ss Apr06 0:00 /usr/sbin/cupsd -C /etc/cups/cupsd. root 2416 0.0 0.0 27736 512 ?Ss Apr06 0:00 /usr/lib/postfix/master -w postfix 2418 0.0 0.0 27968 668 ?SApr06 0:00 qmgr -l -t unix -u ken 2828 0.0 5.8 1384924 232188 ?

Re: [blfs-support] Heartbleed
Would it be best to just restart your system after an upgrade? In the version of the book I have, it said something about an Xorg Server dependency being OpenSSL (thats why I install it right before Xorg).
