>Release:        FreeBSD 4.0-RELEASE i386, FreeBSD 4.0-STABLE i386
>Organization:
Mobilocity, Inc.
>Environment:

	FreeBSD 4.0-RELEASE and 4.0-STABLE on Intel.

>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	ball), since the patches one must apply were originally
	made against that.
