That's almost right, but you mustn't put spaces around the '=' sign. > export OPENSSL_CONF Yep, you have to export it too so that subshells will see it. Or you can even combine the two into one like this: export OPENSSL_CONF=/opt/abc.et (This is all for bash shell, BTW). cheers, DaveK -- Can't think of a witty .sigline today.... -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
