Hello,

I am building/installing 

Apache 1.3.12, released 2/25/2000
mod_ssl 2.6.2 for Apache 1.3.12, released Mar 2, 2000
OpenSSL 0.9.5, Feb 28, 2000
RSA Reference Library 2.0, March 26 1996

on a Digital UNIX 4.0D AlphaServer.  I have read the other reports of this
problem to the list and I am still at a loss why I receive the error.  My
steps without the details are...

build RSA
build OpenSSL
install OpenSSL
build modssl into Apache
build Apache
cat /vmunix /var/adm/messages > $HOME/.rnd
/usr/local/openssl_0.9.5/bin/openssl genrsa 1024
make certificate TYPE=custom

then

Encrypt the private key now? [Y/n]: Y
read RSA key
writing RSA key
Enter PEM pass phrase:
Verifying password - Enter PEM pass phrase:
unable to write key
22712:error:24064064:random number generator:SSLEAY_RAND_BYTES:prng not 
seeded:md_rand.c:470:
mkcert.sh:Error: Failed to encrypt RSA private key
*** Exit 1
Stop.
*** Exit 1
Stop.

Where did I make my mistake?  Note Digital UNIX 4.0D does not have any
/dev/*random.  Any word when modssl 2.6.3 for Apache 1.3.12 will be
out?  Since so many people seem to be having the same problem, perhaps
the mod_ssl-2.6.2-1.3.12/INSTALL document could be improved with
comments about handling systems without /dev/*random.
