Yes. OpenSSH does not implement the crypto itself, it uses OpenSSL to do it. OpenSSH does _not_ use the SSL functions of OpenSSL, just the math. > um ... they do? i just checked and none of the following commands > show openssl as a dependency: > > $ rpm -qR openssh-server OpenSSL provides libcrypto.so.[version] that the OpenSSH packages need. > * Sat Mar 03 2001 Nalin Dahyabhai <na...@redhat.com> > - remove dependency on openssl -- would need to be too precise That was an explicit dependency on "openssl" in the RPM, not the actual code dependency in the OpenSSH source. > so ... am i missing something? does openssh actually depend on > openssl in some way that's not revealed by any of the above? Yes, you are missing that most deps are done by actual library usage, not by package name anymore. Look at "rpm -q --provides openssl-libs" to see all the various library dependencies OpenSSL provides (note that the RPM is now "openssl-libs" - that's why a hard dep on "openssl" was removed). -- Chris Adams <li...@cmadams.net> -- users mailing list users@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Fedora Code of Conduct: http://fedoraproject.org/code-of-conduct Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines Have a question?
