I have a question about upgrading openssl on Redhat 7.3

I have been runnning openssl 0.9.6b for quite some time without problems. Now I see that there is apparently a psybnc attack out there for apache port 443. I've had to shut down https until I can get this fixed.

I installed 0.9.6l which seemed to go in just fine. However, Redhat is still using the old stuff because the new openssl went into /usr/local/ssl and the old stuff is in /usr/bin. I don't see anything like $SSL_HOME to set.

There is an FAQ comment to not remove /usr/bin/openssl or it will break sendmail and ssh but there is nothing in there about what to do about it. I'm not too keen to just put in a link under these circumstances.

I'd really like to be able to take advantage of these new feature/security fixes for at least apache and ideally also for ssh. What do I need to do to get this to work?

Please cc me as well as responding to the forum.

Thanks in advance
