Hello

As some other people reported, mod_ssl 2.6.0 does not work "out of the box"
on e.g. Solaris or probably generally machines without a /dev/randon
device.

My solution:

1. Go to mod_ssl-2.6.0-1.3.12/pkg.contrib
2. Commpile the truerand program "gcc -o truerand truerand.c"
3. Copy truerand to the Apache bin directory "cp truerand
/opt/apache/bin/."
4. Edit httpd.conf:

From:
SSLRandomSeed startup builtin
To:
SSLRandomSeed startup exec:/opt/apache/bin/truerand 16

5. Restart apache

This seems to work fine and seems to me the easiest solution, since one
doesn't need some daemon running like with the egd solution proposed
before.

Bye
Tim
