Hello.

After the recent update of openssl to version 3.5.0.1000 no version of rsync is working as they need libcrypto.so.1.1 which is no longer included in /usr/lib/libcrypto.a of openssl.

Can rsync be recompiled to use the latest libcrypto library?

rsync

Until rsync is compiled with support for 3.5, you can extract the 0.9.8, 1.0.0, 1.0.2, and 1.1 members from the old libcrypto and add them to the new one.

Note that it can make it fail the TCB/TE checks so plan accordingly to your environment.

You can use ldd to check with versioned member you need to extract, and if it's the 32 or 64 bit version.

An alternative is to extract the versioned member you need and relink the rsync binary directly with the libcrypto.so.<version> file.

Please update your rsync rpm. We have a rsync built against openssl 3 and available in AIX Toolbox for quite sometime. 
https://public.dhe.ibm.com/aix/freeSoftware/aixtoolbox/RPMS/ppc/rsync/rsync-3.4.1-2.aix7.1.ppc.rpm

You can also use dnf to update to it.

Thank you for the link.

Yes this version works with the new Openssl.

The questions is answered.

ldd /opt/freeware/bin/rsync
/opt/freeware/bin/rsync needs:
         /usr/lib/libc.a(shr_64.o)
         /usr/lib/libcrypto.a(libcrypto.so.3)
