Upgrading OpenSSL
Hi,
Can someone assist me in upgrading OpenSSL? Please provide me with the standard way of upgrading from an older version of OpenSSL to a newer version on a Solaris 8 system. I have gone through many sites, but each one provided their own way. Your help is much appreciated.
Thank you.

Hi Tintin,
I did go through the process. After going through the installation (./configure, make, make test & make install), I ran the command "ssh -V" and in return I noticed that it is still using the older version of OpenSSL. When I go to the directory of where OpenSSL is installed (/usr/local/ssl), "cd" to bin (/usr/local/ssl/bin) and then typed "openssl version", I would then receive an output of the newer version that I installed. How do I direct openssh to utilize the current OpenSSL?
Thank you....

You didn't mention openssh.
Why compile openssh? Grab openssh from sunfreeware.com. The version available is compiled against openssl 0.9.8d (the version you just installed)

Hi Tintin,
OpenSSH was installed with the orginal OpenSSL. Part of the requirement to install OpenSSH is to install OpenSSL first. Do I have to reinstall OpenSSH or upgrade it?

Is there a particular reason you want to upgrade? Presumably security?
How did you install the original SSH and SSL versions?
In order to install openssh 4.4p1 from sunfreeware, you must install openssl 0.9.8d as well.
