Well yup has never worked for me and I'm not even going down that road
again. I'm not sure how webmin works but my I don't think its a daemon
that needs to be running all the time. I maybe wrong here. The openssl
installed that is not the problem. It is when I try to install
NET_SSLeay.pm-1.05 that is giving me this message. It cannot find the
install directory and I don't know where it is. When I enter the only
path name I can find for it I returns the same message. BTW the rpm -qi
openssl confirms that it is installed.
