-- I've been reading FAQ's and mail archives for days, but I don't seem to be making any progress. Please help.
I keep getting the following error: [Mon Jul 01 15:52:33 2002] [info] Init: Initializing OpenSSL library [Mon Jul 01 15:52:33 2002] [info] Init: Seeding PRNG with 0 bytes of entropy [Mon Jul 01 15:52:33 2002] [warn] Init: PRNG still contains not sufficient entro py!

The socket at /dev/egd-pool was created using /usr/local/sbin/prngd /dev/egd-pool It seems to me, with my limited experience, that many of these methods should have worked to seed the random number generator with a few bits of entropy. Is there any other directive that could affect the error I'm getting? I'd also appreciate it if someone could explain to me why openssl can dump out reams of randomness when called from the command line, but doesn't have enough entropy to create a temporary key when my apache 2.0.39 comes to call.
