NSCA, mcrypt and Solaris 10 x86

[Alloo, Vincent]

Thomas,
Thanks for your answer. Unfortunately, mcrypt was compiled from scratch
(without problems). I have the same error with all algorithms.

Did anyone have a NSCA setup running on Solaris 10 x86 platform with
encryption?

I'd guess your Solaris Mcrypt library doesn't have the Rijndael
algorithm compiled in. The easiest way to fix would be to find an algo
supported on all your servers. You can also uninstall Mcrypt and compile
it from scratch, making sure it compiles in all the algorithms you need.

Any method over 2 should be secure enough.
