Get EGD or PRNGd from:
http://www.aet.tu-cottbus.de/personen/jaenicke/postfix_tls/prngd.html

And call   RAND_egd("/var/run/egd-pool");
before you try to use any crypt or ssl routines ...

Obviously /var/run/egd-pool may vary depending on where
you initialize the egd socket from egd or prngd

Personally, I'd recommend PRNGd as EGD is a PERL script ...
