Is there any binary conflict with the upgrading of SSL?

[Rosli Osman]

My current 11i v2 machine is installed with HP-UX Secure Shell A.03.71.007 and it is built with OpenSSL 0.9.7c. I have upgraded SSL to OpenSSL 0.9.7l, provided by HPRC. My current SSH and SSL as follows:
# swlist | grep -i "secure shell"
T1471AA A.03.71.007 HP-UX Secure Shell
# ssh -V
OpenSSH_3.7, SSH protocols 1.5/2.0, OpenSSL 0.9.7c 30 Sep 2003
HP-UX_Secure_Shell-A.03.71.006.%ic71N, HP_UX Secure Shell version
# what /usr/bin/openssl
/usr/bin/openssl:
$OpenSSL A.00.09.07l.001 $
$OpenSSL A.00.09.07l.001 $
$OpenSSL A.00.09.07l.001 $

Will there be any conflict between the built OpenSSL 0.9.7c and the currently running OpenSSL 0.9.7l?

Shalom,

No conflict that I know of.

Best practice:
1)swremove old openssl
2)swinstall the new

I have gotten away with in place upgrade without problem.

Since you are in upgrade mode, perhaps go to a newer, more secure version of Secure Shell as well.
