It really depends what you want. 1. You can stick with the Red Hat supplied packages to keep your machine up to date. Registration with RHN is free (https://rhn.redhat.com), although the demo accounts do get locked out under heavy. I recommend buying at least one registration to get priority access. You'll need to run rhn_register on each machine.
2. If you want the latest features (including patent restricted cyphers) you can install openssl 0.9.7a alongside the openssl package (don't remove it). Just don't overwrite /usr/bin/openssl. I haven't tried this with the latest versions, but it worked fine with one of the betas. I could make up some RPMs for the latest openssl version, but I've not had any demand (or much time. I've spent most of the last three weeks trying to rebuild an evil windoze server). See the openssl FAQ for some more details. - John Airey, BSc (Jt Hons), CNA, RHCE Internet systems support officer, ITCSD, Royal National Institute of the Blind, Bakewell Road, Peterborough PE2 6XU, Tel.: +44 (0) 1733 375299 Fax: +44 (0) 1733 370848 [EMAIL PROTECTED] A world of difference - in the UK, 37 million people put their faith on the last census as "Christian".
