OpenSSL and certificate problems on GoFlex Home

[beausoleil]

I saw someone else is having this problem with hardware crypto acceleration.

In general, it seems to work - I get vast improvements in performance while testing (e.g. openssl speed -elapsed -evp aes-128-cbc). But it seems to have caused some downstream problems.

But now webmin is broken as well. It was working after I installed the hardware crypto support, but when I changed webmin userid authentication to mirror the Linux userid, it failed. The error was because it was expecting to find the perl module Authen::PAM, but it wasn't installed. Thus began a down-the-rabbit-hole venture like Alice...

It seemed I needed to install the perl-authen-pam module, which for ARM seems to be only available in AUR. So when I tried to download it using wget, I got the following error:
$this->bbcode_second_pass_code('', '[jon@goflexhome tmp]$ sudo wget https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/pe/perl-authen-pam/perl-authen-pam.tar.gz

I downloaded the tar package from another computer running Linux Mint 15, and then scp'd it over to the GoFlex. When I tried to build the package, I kept getting an error when prompted for the root password:
$this->bbcode_second_pass_code('', '---- Now, you may be prompted to enter the password of 'root'.
Password:
not ok 9 (7 - Authentication failure)
---- The failure of test 9 could be due to your PAM configuration
---- or typing an incorrect password.
ok 10
ok 11
')
I double and triple checked the password, so how do I check the PAM config to find the error?

I realize the two problems may not be related (broken webmin and broken SSL support for wget), but if they aren't, then at least one led me to finding out I had the other problem as well.

At this point in time, I would disable the cryptodev set, and use the non-mv_cesa accelerated packages. The performance has been optimized with assembler in recent releases.
