# bin/openssl rand -out /.rnd -rand /var/run/egd-pool:/var/adm/syslog
Usage: rand [options] num
where options are
-out file - write to file
-rand file:file:... - seed PRNG from files
-base64 - encode output
# bin/openssl rand -out /.rnd -rand /var/run/egd-pool:/var/adm/syslog 1024
syslog is only 1 Meg. This has been running for 30 minutes and there
still is nothing in /.rnd.
