Hi,

I just received a "HIGH criticality" email from
[log in to unmask] stating:

"Do NOT upgrade to OpenSSL 1.x. The new OpenSSL version breaks the
certificate authentication for OSG/VDT."

Not having my ear to the ground vis-a-vis openssl, does anyone know if
that version is due to be released soon?  Will it come from TUV or
directly from openssl.org?  (Troy/Connie question)

Right now, we have openssl-0.9.8e-12.el5_4.1.

I suppose the thing to do is to go and edit the yum.cron.excludes on
all our OSG nodes to block openssl* until this issue is fixed.  [sigh...]

- Larry
