NOTE: swinstall installs OpenSSL A.00.09.08o in /opt/openssl
NOTE: On HP-UX 11i version 1 (PA-RISC), for systems without /dev/random, the prngd server
starts automatically. A random number generator (either /dev/random or prngd) is required to
generate keys and certificates.
The HP-UX OpenSSL files are loaded in approximately three to five minutes.
IMPORTANT: You cannot install OpenSSL A.00.09.07m or A.00.09.08o on a system containing
HP-UX Internet Express OpenSSL 0.9.7c. If HP-UX Internet Express OpenSSL 0.9.7c software is
installed on your system, you must remove it before installing OpenSSL A.00.09.07m or
A.00.09.08o.
