Updating the openSSL.exe on the IRCd Server

Hi again:
I notice Unreal IRCD Version 3.2.3 is using OpenSSL 0.9.7e
I see OpenSSL 0.9.7f just came out.
What would be the easiest way to update the openssl..on the ircd server.
Thanks-

Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but...
You'll have to compile OpenSSL, and then recompile UnrealIRCd with the new OpenSSL version. Read doc/compiling_win32.txt to find out how to do this.
(I haven't tried compiling OpenSSL and then simply replacing the old DLLs with the new ones. But that's something that I wouldn't recommend doing; somehow I don't think that it would work.)

Yea i was thinking about installing openssl into a folder, then just dropping the .exe and the appropriate DLL's in the unreal folder, then just rebooting the server, but I dont think it would work, but then i say why wouldnt it?? Thats why i ask...
Gotta keep up to date with it or else 0day bugs are open and we dont want that do we

It depends on whether it claims to be ABI compatible with 0.9.7e. If it is, then you can just place the DLLs there, if it isn't, you need to recompile.
