The symlinking may not work as openssl's ABI is not stable (and won't be
until its 1.0 release, see the "Note on shared libraries" section of
openssl's INSTALL file).

What's worse is that "beer"'s sshd is probably also linked against the
now-missing libcrypto.so, if so it will fail next time it's restarted. 
Try "sshd -t" to test this without killing the running sshd.  Another
good reason to link openssh against openssl static libraries...

    Good judgement comes with experience. Unfortunately, the experience
usually comes from bad judgement.
