Is AIX simply less forgiving, and returns a more serious error.

There is no AIX-specific code in openssl around file access. Trying "ls -ld" on /usr and /usr/local and /usr/local/ssl and checking errno might be interesting.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoPlainText>_______________________________________________<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoPlainText>openssl-users mailing list<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoPlainText>To unsubscribe: <a href="https://mta.openssl.org/mailman/listinfo/openssl-users"><span style='color:windowtext;text-decoration:none'>https://mta.openssl.org/mailman/listinfo/openssl-users</span></a><o:p></o:p></p></div></body></html>
