>   Is FIPS_mode_set(1) taking care of setting up a default DRBG ?  

Yes. It does.  When using post_cb() from fips_test_suite.c in for instance the 
fips_hmac.c demo, with only but a FIPS_mode_set(1) call, it is reported that 
the four DRBGs are tested: DRBG AES-256-CTR DF, DRBG AES-256-CTR, DRBG SHA256 
and DRBG HMAC-SHA256, amongst others.

After FIPS_mode_set(1) is executed along with the POST tests, a call to 
RAND_pseudo_bytes() will not run the tests again.  In this context, when do 
occur the DRBG continuous tests as shown in table 6b of the 2.0.9 Security 
Policy ?  Is there a need to actually call FIPS_selftest() ?

Regards.
