Hi folks, I am relatively new to SuSE (but not to Linux and UNIX-like OSen), and have come across a problem. I want to upgrade the default OpenSSL RPM installed when the box was built (it is 8.0). I am unable to find a SuSE RPM for OpenSSL 0.9.6g/h or 0.9.7 anywhere out there (have tried rpmfind, the SuSE web sites, and mirrors, etc). Can I safely use the RPM from the 8.1 release CD's? I ask as I notice the packing lists (as grubbed out with rpm -qpl ./openssl...) are different between the two releases. If not, does anyone know of a suitable RPM that will simply apply using rpm -U? I don't want to just suck it and see, as I am upgrading a production box, and customers wouldn't be too pleased if I spammed it! Alterntively, I am not afraid to build from source, but cannot seem to work out what options to pass to the OpenSSL config script to get all the bits installed in the "right" places (from SuSE's point of view). Tips, pointers, links to sources of info very gratefully received! Thanks for your time, and many apologies if this is an FAQ - googling didn't bring me anything terribly useful, though, I'm afraid... Cheers, Dan
