openssl upgrade - U might b need it ;p

by Aramico

Well, about my problem in upgrading my remote server with the latest version of openssl, apache and other its need to avoid getting the error.... Just wanna tell u this, you might be need it, if not... just ignore it.... ;p Well, at the first time, before removing the available openssl, you might have to enable the TELNET CONNECTION first. It's better to completely remove the available openssl first, but remember to ENABLE THE TELNET CONNECTION first. After removing the old openssl, you can not make any other SSH connection to your remote machine. You have got to do this fast, do not let the TELNET CONNECTION enable for a long time period. Get the latest openssl in www.openssl.com, and follow the instruction. Dont be affraid of libcrypto.* proble. Just configured the openssl installation with shared (./configure --prefix=/YOUR_OPENSSL_DIR_TARGET --openssldir=/YOUR_OPENSSL_DIR_TARGET shared) That's the main idean that I would like to say, shared. It's automatically created the latest file of libcrypto.* and other its need. Simple, make the duplicate of the needed file and create a link from a defined .so as .so asked. Then, you can simply close the TELNET CONNECTION (using chkconfig --level 3 telnet off - Redhat) and re-enabling the ssh connection by typing /etc/rc.d/init.d/sshd restart) Good Luck...... ;p

On a related note, if you're interested in trimming out the alternate HTML part, take a look at http://www.kluge.net/mailfiltering/strip_html.txt ... It works very nicely for me ala: # If a message is MIME and under 100k, remove the HTML version if neccesary. :0 fw * ^Content-type:.*boundary * <102400 |/usr/local/bin/strip_html.pl Then I never worry about the multipart/alternate bits since I only ever see text/plain, not to mention that the mail is much much smaller this way. ;) -- Randomly Generated Tagline: "Problem solving under linux has never been the circus that it is under AIX."

OT: MIME

Okay, flame war time, but this is really starting to bug me. What's everyone's freekin problem with MIME formatted messages? The poster's message is NOT in HTML format (referring to a previous post on the matter). It's in multipart/alternative. That means your mailer is free to choose what alternative encoding to display. I have mutt configured to show me text/html version (piped thru lynx, of course), but I could just as easily have it show me the text/plain one instead. The way I see it, giving the reader the option of what version to display is the best compromise, as compared to either A) not offering multimedia in email at all, or B) berating the sender of a message for not using a format you agree with. Using a retarded mailer that doesn't know to interpret multipart/alternative is no excuse. And jumping right to option B is just childish. -Chuck

The detail about |sendmail| is in the 1021 page book called "sendmail" by Bryan Costales, published by O'Reilly. I got my copy from the Tatnuck bookstore on Chandler Street, I don't know if they are still in stock. The Border's on Rt.9 in Shrewsbury is also a good place to look. > I mean, the documentations on their site both are meaningless for me.
