>   OpenSSL version 0.9.7a and 0.9.6i released

previous versions of openssl on freebsd has been lacking some
configuration details, which obviously have been dealt with, except
for this:  when installing openssl-0.9.7a on freebsd-4.6.2, the
configuration step needs the following call:

  ./config -lcipher shared

if you leave out -lcipher, you will get warnings (and lack of
features!) for missing setkey(3), des_setkey(3), encrypt(3) etc., and
leaving out "shared" will only produce static libs.

the -lcipher thing might have to do with the recent decisions on
export-controlling ciphers, which had the freebsd project release two
different versions of its code, an american and the export-version.

now the only warnings left are:

/usr/lib/libc.so.4: warning: this program uses gets(), which is unsafe.
/usr/lib/libc.so.4: warning: mktemp() possibly used unsafely; consider using mkstemp()
/usr/lib/libc.so.4: warning: tmpnam() possibly used unsafely; consider using mkstemp()
/usr/lib/libc.so.4: warning: this program uses f_prealloc(), which is not recommended.
/usr/lib/libc.so.4: warning: tempnam() possibly used unsafely; consider using mkstemp()
