> Hi, > > I'm having the popular 'Solaris 8 has no /dev/random' problem. > > I'm using openssl-0.9.6b and I don't have the option to upgrade nor can > I add the Solaris patch to create /dev/random. (30 odd live servers > which I'm not allowed to reboot or mangle if it can be avoided) > > I've installed egd and pgrnd packages downloaded from sunfreeware.com. > > If I use the openssl command line utility then, provided I've created a > .rnd seed file in my home directory, I can create keys, etc. without > seeing errors about the random number generator being un-seeded. > > The same is not true for Apache with mod_ssl. > > I don't know how to let mod_ssl / Apache know where the random number > seed file is. > > Any help would be greatly appreciated. > > Greg Hamilton > -- Ian Miller Sr. Systems Engineer University of Chicago [EMAIL PROTECTED] ______________________________________________________________________ Apache Interface to OpenSSL (mod_ssl) www.modssl.org User Support Mailing List [EMAIL PROTECTED] Automated List Manager [EMAIL PROTECTED]
