Zenoss SSH Troubles on Ubuntu 8.04

Fresh off a stack installer of Zenoss Core on Ubuntu 8.04, I had a little trouble with SSHing to other hosts using the Zenoss user. When I tried to SSH, I got a this error:
ssh: /usr/local/zenoss/common/lib/libcrypto.so.0.9.8: no version information available (required by ssh)
Segmentation fault

Segfault. That’s not cool..

After doing a quick search on Google, I found this suggestion in a mailing list:
unset LD_LIBRARY_PATH

After ‘unsetting’ the LD_LIBRARY_PATH variable by running that directly in the shell, I could SSH to my servers to perform my checks. I then added it to the end of my Zenoss user’s .bashrc script.

So far I haven’t seen anything broken, but will certainly report back if I do run into any issues. I’m not entirely sure what the LD_LIBRARY_PATH variable does, but a quick Google search showed 3 results of people saying it was a bad idea to use it. Again, not sure but I give it a big “works for me” :)
