I consider openssl pretty basic, and use it regularly for
generating keys and CSRs ... Sendmail happily uses the .key,
.csr and .pem so generated. I see ntp, stunnel, nmap, git,
alpine, wget, lynx, w3m, php-cli, fipscheck, and tcpdump all
calling for it on an older unit (CLI stuff using crypto,
basically)
