[OpenIndiana-discuss] why is an old version of openssl still active

[Predrag Zecevic]

Hi all,

I usually set desired version to be first in PATH 
(/usr/openssl/VERSION/bin, in separate shell):

:; ls -dlh /usr/openssl/*/bin/openssl
-r-xr-xr-x 1 root bin 762K Feb  5  2024 /usr/openssl/1.0/bin/openssl
-r-xr-xr-x 1 root bin 684K Feb 17 16:53 /usr/openssl/1.1/bin/openssl
-r-xr-xr-x 1 root bin 1,2M Feb 17 16:53 /usr/openssl/3/bin/openssl

HTH
Regards.
