I can't. The behavior of fopen is defined by ISO 9899 and the Single UNIX Specfication, which AIX has adhered to for well over a decade. Let's see: ----- (152 mww) aix61v1:/home/devel/mww - cat testc.c #include <stdio.h> #include <errno.h> int main(void) {fopen("/usr/local/ssl/openssl.cnf", "rb"); perror("fopen"); return 0;} (153 mww) aix61v1:/home/devel/mww - make testc cc -O testc.c -o testc (154 mww) aix61v1:/home/devel/mww - ./testc fopen: No such file or directory ----- fopen (well, open, called by fopen) is setting errno to ENOENT, just as one would expect. And while I'm at it: ----- (169 mww) aix61v1:/home/devel/mww/OpenSSL-101g/ssl/Integration/main/openssl/multi/32/openssl/apps - ./openssl WARNING: can't open config file: /usr/local/ssl/openssl.cnf OpenSSL> quit ----- Not seeing the problem here (and I've never seen it before, and none of our customers have reported it). This appears to be unique to the OP's environment. -- Michael Wojcik Technology Specialist, Micro Focus This message has been scanned for malware by Websense. www.websense.com
