Hi,

several users have complained that the padlock engine is not usable in
new distros like Fedora 5 or OpenSUSE 10.1 that come with 0.9.8a. There
was apparently some reorganization of engines to dynamically loadable
modules. I haven't followed OpenSSL development for a while, could you
give be a brief overview of what needs to be done to have PadLock usable
again?

BTW Fedora people came up with something like:
http://www.logix.cz/michal/devel/padlock/openssl-0.9.8a-padlock.patch
which makes the padlock engine static again (and usable again ;-). Is
that an acceptable approach? I somehow doubt so. What's the correct way
to fix it?

Thanks!

Michal
