Hi Netsnmp Team,
                            Does Netsnmp-5.8 used internal OpenSSL files or
external Openssl library under yoctoproject?
README under "net-snmp-5.8/snmplib/openssl" points that "
--with-openssl=internal" to force the internal OpenSSL code.
Can I assume without this configuration netsnmp is using the OpenSSL
library?
Is there any flag/config under in   yoctoproject which confirms that the
OpenSSL library is being used?

Any info/help on this?

*README:*

This directory contains modified crypto code from OpenSSL

1.0.0.beta5.  Please see the OpenSSL license from that release in the

OPENSSL-LICENSE which will apply if this code is selected.



Net-SNMP may be compiled with this code using the

--with-openssl=internal flag to the configure command line.



Note*: It is generally a better idea to link with the latest OpenSSL*

*library rather than rely on this internal support*, as the latest

OpenSSL code may contain important security or other fixes that may

not have been incorporated into this snapshot.  Small device vendors,

however, have requested a stripped down version of the OpenSSL

cryptography code in order to shrink their memory footprint and this

feature provides such support.



*Note also that the new SNMP over DTLS, SNMP over TLS support also*

*available in Net-SNMP 5.6 and beyond is incompatible with the internal*

*version of the OpenSSL** support since SNMP over (D)TLS requires the*

*full TLS support available in OpenSSL.*


*Thanks,*

*Sanjay*
