Thanks Lutz:
Where to put SSLRandomSeed....? Becos I put it in Virtual Host as shown:
<VirtualHost *>
ServerAdmin [EMAIL PROTECTED]
DocumentRoot /kit
ServerName www.my.server.name
ErrorLog logs/log1
#SSLRandomFile file /dev/egd-pool 1024
SSLRandomSeed startup egd:/var/run/egd-pool
SSLRandomSeed connect egd:/var/run/egd-pool
SSLCertificateFile /usr/local/ssl/certs/cert.cer
SSLCertificateKeyFile /usr/local/ssl/bin/private.key
</VirtualHost>and it throws following Error: # ./apachectl startssl Syntax error on line 983 of /kit/conf/httpd.conf: SSLRandomSeed cannot occur within <VirtualHost> section ./apachectl startssl: httpd could not be started #

But you didn't read carefully enough. If you are using an EGD style device,
you must explicitely tell:
SSLRandomSeed startup egd:/var/run/egd-pool
SSLRandomSeed connect egd:/var/run/egd-pool
