My version of the Linux kernel (2.0.33) is a couple of years old and I
do not have /dev/random or /dev/urandom on my system. I've been
researching what to use instead and have become confused.
I downloaded EGD, installed it and started the daemon, pointing it to
/etc/entropy. When I point the SSLRandomSeed directive to /etc/entropy,
the httpd daemon hangs up trying to start. Do I need to recompile
OpenSSL to include the RAND_egd function? If so, how do I make OpenSSL
see it?
I also noticed that under openssl-0.9.5a/crypto/, there is a rand
directory. Is this something I can use instead of EGD? If so, how do I
incorporate it into OpenSSL?
I would greatly appreciate it if anyone could shed some light on this -
I've only been working with Apache for a month and SSL is totally new to
me.
Thanks
