Joel, group;
I have been looking at that, it seems I have two choices:
www.matrixssl.org : : Because it is small.
www.openssl.org : : Because it is what most people expect.
If we are going to be successful at building a vserver guest
that can be remotely rescued, then the decision may have
to be made on which can be built with static linkage.
Perhaps both? Like this:
initial-install (baby01) : : chroot/vserver rescue software
- - - - the matrixssl staticly linked
- - - - the BusyBox is already providing a telnetd
- - - - the BusyBox is providing a vi editor
- - - - the BusyBox can be staticly linked
- - - - already have a staticly linked Bash
base-install (baby02) : : rescue, backup, restore, and maintenance.
- - - - the openssl dynamicly linked
- - - - a dynamicly linked nano editor
- - - - the BusyBox is currently dynamicly linked
- - - - I added a dynamicly linked Bash in /opt/gnu/bash/*
The baby02 level should be fine for anyone that is not playing
with an experimental libc6 (like some that I know).
People who need more features should be loading the
base-install of some Linux distribution.
I am also trying to keep this exercise within a single semester's
work in system administration - but I will not cripple the
package for that purpose.
I will give this some more study, I can't answer my own
question at the moment.
Mike
