[cobalt-users] opensll - static and dynamic linking



Hi folks,

I have updated our openssl for dynamically linked apps such as stunnel on our box. I have been doing my homework and would dearly like some verification from one of the guru's out there that the following is correct.

OpenSSH and Apache = Statically linked, therefore these need recompiling from new versions which include the OpenSSL libaries.

Stunnel etc = Dynamically linked, these use the version of OpenSSL currently on the box.

What I want to verify is:
Now i have updated OpenSSH to 'openssl-0.9.6e' this secures my stunnel as the dynamic links are to a safe version of OpenSSH.

Thanks all!

MJM
