openssl: how to find out version installed

Hi,
I am looking into installing Webmin only for the purpose of being a frontend to MySql.
The Webmin install preamble mentions to check Perl + OpenSSL versions.
Perl version installed is OK but following the instruction,
< OpenSSL: 0.9.7b to see version open terminal cd /usr/bin then type OpenSSL version >
no satisfactory answer is returned, ie,

[PowerBook:/usr/bin] patrickh% OpenSSL --version

[PowerBook:/System/Library/OpenSSL] patrickh% OpenSSL --version
tcsh: OpenSSL: Command not found.
[PowerBook:/System/Library/OpenSSL] patrickh%

=====

Of course < tcsh: OpenSSL: Command not found. > is the important bit here I guess.

The other question is, any other suitable mysql (open source) frontends?
Looked at rekall but did not much like its feel, look.

Not quite the answer you are looking for but if you only want a GUI for mysql you might want to try phpmyadmin instead http://www.phpmyadmin.net/home_page/index.php

Webmin is a great admin tool for numerous applications but phpadmin is a great tool for mysql administration that does not require you to learn all of the nuances of Webmin.

FWIW I have both installed and really like Webmin for it's versatility but find phpmyadmin much simplere to learn and use.
