so everything was already installed?

Code:
-bash-3.00$ pkginfo | grep openssl
system      SUNWopenssl-commands             OpenSSL Commands (Usr)
system      SUNWopenssl-include              OpenSSL Header Files
system      SUNWopenssl-libraries            OpenSSL Libraries (Usr)
system      SUNWopenssl-man                  OpenSSL Manual Pages
system      SUNWopensslr                     OpenSSL (Root)

That was it, perfect. Thanks

Code:
-bash-3.00$ PATH=${PATH}:/usr/sfw/bin
-bash-3.00$ openssl req -newkey rsa:1024 -keyout server.pf.key -out req.pem
Generating a 1024 bit RSA private key
...........................++++++
..............................................................++++++
writing new private key to 'server.pf.key'
Enter PEM pass phrase:

I'm I missing something here?

why doesn't this work:


Code:
bash-3.00# ls |grep openssl
openssl
bash-3.00# openssl req -newkey rsa:2048-keyout server.pf.key -out req.pem
bash: openssl: command not found

is it because it's a solaris zone?

try ./openssl req .... in the same directory as above.

No, it is because the directory where the command is located is missing from your PATH. Either use an explicit path as already suggested by DukeNuke2, or add the directory to your PATH. Note that adding "." to your PATH will work but is a bad practice, especially as you seem to run this as root.

It was a path issue, thanks.

I updated path using:


Code:
PATH=$PATH:$HOME/bin:/sbin
PATH=$PATH:$HOME/bin
PATH=$PATH:$HOME/bin:/usr/sfw/bin

It seems like each time I connect I lose my path, is there anyway to keep it?

read the man page of the shell you are using. there should be hints about config files to use for just this...

Looks redundant. Simply use:
Code:
PATH=$PATH:/sbin:$HOME/bin:/usr/sfw/bin
