nnposter> ===========
nnposter> OpenSSL configuration file may contain option "RANDFILE",
nnposter> which specifies a location of the RNG seed file. OpenSSL (on
nnposter> Win32) erroneously ignores this option and uses a default
nnposter> path of "c:\.rnd" instead. Conversely, environment variable
nnposter> "RANDFILE" is always honored.

nnposter> Example:

nnposter> > openssl rand -base64 -rand extra.rnd 128
Incorrect. The configuration file isn't read at all by the rand
application. The configuration file is only used by the certificate
handling applications, which are:
openssl x509
openssl req
openssl ca
Perhaps this should be clarified in the docs...
