I've installed openssl 0.9.5 on a Solaris 2.6 box. Sure enough, I initially
had problems with it (which showed up during "make test")...
"This means that the random number generator has not been seeded
with much random data.
Consider setting the RANDFILE environment variable to point at a file that
'random' data can be kept in (the file will be overwritten)."
but got over these by doing what I was told ;-)
(Well, I created a suitable /.rnd file which appeared to make it happy.)
Where I'm now having problems, though, is with stunnel (3.8). When I try to
start it up, I get...
dire# /usr/local/sbin/stunnel -f -D7 -d 636 -r 389
LOG7[5786:1]: Service name to be used: 389
LOG7[5786:1]: Generating 512 bit temporary RSA key...
LOG3[5786:1]: tmp_rsa_cb: error:24064064:random number generator:SSLEAY_RAND_BYT
ES:prng not seeded
Is this problem the one..
"Note that the command "openssl rsa" in OpenSSL 0.9.5 does not do this and
will fail on systems without /dev/urandom when trying to password-encrypt an
RSA key! This is a bug in the library; try a later snaphost instead."
that's described at...
http://www.openssl.org/support/faq.html#6
or something else?
