I consider openssl pretty basic, and use it regularly for generating
keys and CSRs ... Sendmail happily uses the .key, .csr and .pem so
generated. I see ntp, stunnel, nmap, git, alpine, wget, lynx, w3m,
php-cli, fipscheck, and tcpdump all calling for it on an older unit
(CLI stuff using crypto, basically)
Oh, no doubt, but none of that (with the exception of fipscheck) is
installed.
