Quoting Greg Hamilton <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>:

> 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.
