OpenSSL Security issues

[stefan.paetow at diamond.ac.uk]

It's not really up to the FreeRADIUS people to make that call, but rather the OpenSSL guys. But I agree that this is rather annoying. I would have preferred a 1.0.1g upgrade myself.

I'll forward this question on to the RHEL OpenSSL guy and find out.
