[rhn-users] Nessus require openssl-0.9.7d

[JHZhang at mdanderson.org]

The interesting thing I found out is that openssl-0.9.7a-43.16 is actually
newer at patch level than openssl-0.9.7d. If the scanner agree with this RH
version level explained, I should be fine. Thank you for your help Hiren.

run up2date -l and see if an update for openssl exists.
i hope that rpm you downloaded is from redhat.
if an update does not exist, ask redhat if they're going to be releasing
an update for it. going with redhat packages as far as possible avoids
maintenance. for something like openssl, i would not chop and change
packages other than what redhat provide.
