Why is RH using such an outdated version of OpenSSL ? I understand that they may have back-ported the fix but I just tried installing Net::SSLeay on a Centos 3.3 box and it wouldn''t install, saying that the openssl version was old and suggested I get 9.7b or later? How are you handling this problem? I am resorting to recompiling OpenSSL 9.7d . Thanks, Dave

Centos uses that version because tht is what RHEL uses..:) They backport the fixes so the version numbers do not always mean that much(except to programs that look at version numbers of course..<G>) Dave Augustus wrote:> Why is RH using such an outdated version of OpenSSL ? > > I understand that they may have back-ported the fix but I just tried > installing Net::SSLeay on a Centos 3.3 box and it wouldn't install, saying > that the openssl version was old and suggested I get 9.7b or later? > > How are you handling this problem?

You can grab the Net::SSLeay rpm from here: http://dag.wieers.com/packages/perl-Net-SSLeay/perl-Net-SSLeay-1.25-1.1.el3.dag.i386.rpm Don't use cpan, it will just cause pain... John.
