  All versions of OpenSSL.

  *However* if you install multiple versions of OpenSSL, then the server
can be built using headers from version X, and at run-time link to the
library for version Y.  It *will* crash.

  In short: Install ONE version of OpenSSL.  Only one.

  If you insist on installing two, figure out the makefile / ld-config
magic to force the server to build && link to only one version of
OpenSSL.  This isn't a RADIUS problem.
