Hi,

Is it necessary to build/install the entire world if you're more concerned 
with protecting specific applications using the OpenSSL library? - e.g. if 
the machine is just running Apache?

How would you just recompile / install openssl in the base on it's own?

Is there anything in FreeBSD that statically links against openssl anyway?

Cheers,
