Open SSL and VSFTPD

Open SSL and VSFTPD

Has anyone got Open SSL and VSFTPD to work together?

I keep getting this error when I try and install VSFTPD with SSL support

ssl.o: In function ‘ssl_cert_digest’:
ssl.c:(.text+0x54c): undefined reference to ‘EVP_sha256’
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status

I have exactly the same problem when I try to complie csftpd with SSL-support.

OpenSSL is installed and I have edited the builddefs.h as stated in the README.ssl.
I have also created the needed vsftpd.pem-file.

Any ideas?

It's probably a problem with the library……

I wrote a little script to test all your optware if RPATH has been set….

ipkg install chrpath
cd /tmp
wget -O noRPATH http://wd.mirmana.com/noRPATH
chmod +x noRPATH
./noRPATH

If you use openssl-0.9.7 you can't use sha256.

Check with 'grep -l EVP_sha256 /usr/lib/libcrypto*'
You must see at least: /usr/lib/libcrypto.a

Alternatively you can use sha1 (it has a 160 bit key instead of 256)

Check with 'grep -l EVP_sha1 /usr/lib/libcrypto*'

If you see at least '/usr/lib/libcrypto.a', you can use sha1 !

Edit 'ssl.c' in the source tree: replace EVP_sha256 with EVP_sha1
Compile and you're ready to use ssl with vsftpd.

Have fun
