ok - I used the SSLRandomSeed directive with the built in seeding source.
Now, httpd will start with SSL but when I test it, I find that there is
not enough entropy for random number generation. I do not have
/dev/random on my system.
Bear with me --- I've only been working with this stuff for a month. How
can I create a random device that will meet the needs of SSL?
Thanks a bunch.
