open ssl version

[Kyle D. Harris]

Where would i go on my system to see what version of openssl i'm running? I know for sure I have it.

this should do !

#rpm -ql openssl
#locate sll

JP-
Thanks!... One more thing, when upgrading openssl, do you just swap out old version with the openssl-0.9.7c.tar.gz newest version or is there alot more that needs to be done as far as modifying files or whatnot? Thanks.

Kyle,

openssl will I think be /usr/bin/openssl
and the command

#/usr/bin/openssl version

Will show you the current version

If in the various applic/config files this is invoke as /usr/bin/openssl then all should work

as you have already install this, first check that all works then have a look in your various config "apache ssh...etc" to see that the pointers are to this version bin and libs

If you use redhat, which I think is the xcase, then just download rpm -Uvh openssl-0.9.7c-2.i386.rpm. You can get it for your architecture from http://rpmfind.net/linux/RPM/PLD/dists/ac/ready/i686/openssl-0.9.7c-2.i686.html

In Debian GNU, you can do a `dpkg -l openssl' and verify. You should understand that in Debian GNU/Linux, openssl is a seperate package and the OpenSSL library is libssl. The package `openssl' contains the openssl binary and related tools. It is part of the OpenSSL implementation of SSL. The `libssl' package is seperate but it is apart of the OpenSSL implementation of SSL too!
