Thank you for the tip, however I'm still at a loss. A month ago I
compiled and installed this in a test environment with no problems. The
make certificate process worked just fine back then, as it does now. I
think I'll just start fresh and see if it works any better. I do have a
$HOME/.rnd file at this time. Do you think I should blast that old file
and let the system regenerate it? I can't imagine this having anything
to do with this problem though.
