The OpenSSL manpage for RAND_egd (to which egd.pl docs pointed me) says if the socket is /dev/egd-pool it'll use it automatically, but it's a no-go so far. I'm at wit's end. Could it be something in the test httpd.conf? As a test I backed up the old httpd and replaced it with the new one, and it seems to be working fine. All that took less than a minute, and we're a small enough server that it was a tolerable interruption even if it hadn't worked, but I'd still like to do the install, just to update everything. Is that safe? What else does it change? __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Get personalized email addresses from Yahoo!
