Folks,
I'm running on Solaris 2.6, and have built a web server with Apache 1.3.14,
mod_ssl 2.7.1 and openssl 0.9.6. I've been having problems with random number
generation for the certificates. I tried installing the SUNwski package that's
supposed to set up /dev/random, but when I tried to use it to create a
certificate everything hung. So I've switched to using egd.
All is well with that except:
I have a start-up script in /etc/rc2.d for egd and one in /etc/rc3.d for apache.
But apache never starts on boot-up and the error message says that it couldn't
get a random number properly. I even tried putting a sleep (30) in the egd
startup script and a test for egd in the apache script. It didn't seem to make
any difference.
Anyone tell me how I get these two to link together, or why apache can't find
the egd routine when it tries to start up?
Once I've got multiuse running, and I log in I can see the egd script is running
and then when I do
"apachectl startssl"
It all starts fine.
If it helps I can recreate the log messages - only my system just crashed and
I'm going to have to rebuild the so-and-so. Luckily this is a test machine in
the lab, not a production server.
TIA for your help.
Dave Smith
