[Pkg-openssl-devel] Bug#397730: Confirmed Fixed

[Scott Schaefer]

I am unable to determine w/o significant effort when/how this was fixed 
[or even if it was perhaps a problem in sudo].

However, I have verified that the following works in both stable 
(0.9.8o-4squeeze1), and testing (1.0.0d-2)

$ sudo openssl genrsa -aes192 -out /tmp/host.example.edu.key 1024
