When you install mod_ssl with apache one of the steps is

 make certificate

which is where I am where this is bombing.  I'm getting the dreaded

 unable to write key
 21093:error:24064064:random number generator:SSLEAY_RAND_BYTES:prng not 
seeded:md_rand.c:470:

error message when installing mod_ssl.  I have a /.rnd file, which is
what the mod_ssl docs say is what you make to solve this error.  I ran
the mkcert.sh script that the mod_ssl setup is using with -x; where
it's bombing is with the following command:

/usr/local/bin/openssl rsa -des3 -in ../conf/ssl.key/server.key -out 
../conf/ssl.key/server.key.crypt

After this failure the ls for those two files is as follows:

2 -r--r--r--   1 root     root         887 May 15 16:22 ssl.key/server.key
0 -rw-------   1 root     other          0 May 15 16:23 ssl.key/server.key.crypt

I've posted this query to the openssl mailing list but no one has
responded so I'm guessing it's a new bug.

The FAQ for openssl doesn't give any clues as to how to handle this
error.
