Is it possible though configuration, or failing that by source modification, to change the path for openssl.cnf?

FreeRADIUS doesn't read openssl.conf.

The system I'm building for (SmartOS) installs all extra packages under /opt/local. So I see several "WARNING: can't open config file: /etc/openssl/openssl.cnf" on startup.

Whatever that error is, it: a) has nothing to do with FreeRADIUS or b) is because someone locally edited the config files, and broke them. Alan DeKok.
