Hi,

thanks for previous help/clarification that only the libs need

Another question: can someone please confirm that mod_ssl.so from
apache 2.0.47 port is _not_ affected ?

I have rebuilt libssl, libcrypto and installed them (they all differ
from the old libs after make install) and done a rebuild of
mod_ssl. But the new mod_ssl.so doesn't differ from the one
built late August:

[ports]apache2/work/httpd-2.0.47/modules/ssl/.libs> md5 mod_ssl.so
MD5 (mod_ssl.so) = a4e31cf6e4aff5ca91f164d57eb68457

/usr/local/libexec/apache2> md5 mod_ssl.so
MD5 (mod_ssl.so) = a4e31cf6e4aff5ca91f164d57eb68457

Also diff does not say that the binary files would differ.

Thanks in advance.
