>Description:
The version of OpenSSL in the base distribution doesn't
include the RAND_* functions.
>How-To-Repeat:
I was compiling OpenSSH (from the ``portable'' distribution)
in order to incorporate Kerberos 5 support. The configure
script dies when looking for OpenSSL. The log shows that the
``RAND_add'' and ``RAND_status'' functions are undefined in
/usr/lib/libcrypto.{a,so}. Nm seems to confirm this:
: hurricane 219; nm -a lib*.a | grep RAND_add
: hurricane 220; pwd
/usr/lib
: hurricane 221;
If I fake out make and install OpenSSL from ports, via, eg:
make depend all install OSVERSION=400013
it compiles RAND_add and other functions into the resulting
library, and I can get OpenSSH to link against it.
>Fix:
Well, I suppose just make sure that the build process
for OpenSSL in the source tree is including those functions.
Or perhaps not; the only place I've seen them used is in
OpenSSH, but it easiest to compile in Kerberos 5 support
via the portable version (presumably, the BSD version
doesn't require those functions. The source file using
them doesn't even seem to be present in the OpenBSD tar-
ball), since the patches one must apply were originally
made against that.
