Simon,
You need to create a file called $HOME/.rnd, open it with your editor
and enter in random key strokes. Enter a few lines of random data. This
is the easiest way to get it to work. Then run "openssl genrsa .../etc."
to generate your key file pair.
Cheers
Mark Jackson

OK - so I have installed egd - what do I have to do to get mod_ssl to use
it
?
I have it running with socket parameter of /etc/entropy and tried setting
SSLRandomSeed to this value.
Please help
Simon.
