Description From Joe Bester 2008-08-15 08:35:02

The globus_openssl_setup script creates a link from the vendor SSL in
$GLOBUS_LOCATION/bin/openssl so that the rest of the scripts which use the
openssl program don't need to be changed. However, if the setup script is run a
second time with $GLOBUS_LOCATION/bin/ is in the PATH before actual path to
openssl, it will create a symlink $GLOBUS_LOCATION/bin/openssl ->
$GLOBUS_LOCATION/bin/openssl which causes things to fail in strange ways.
