Hi all
I've run into a problem with Net::SSLeay::RAND_seed($buf).
I'm working on WinNT4 with Net::SSLeay 1.05 and OpenSSL 0.9.5.
(I'll be posting instructions how to get those two to work together on NT as
soon as the Net::SSLeay homepage is up again)
Since OpenSSL 0.9.5 complains when the PRNG is not seeded I'm using RAND_seed
to provide some initial data. Because this didn't seem to help while debugging
my perl scripts I built debug versions of Net::SSLeay and OpenSSL and tried to
track it down.
I found that <openssl>/crypto/rand/rand_lib.c/RAND_seed(const void *buf, int
num) ALWAYS gets called with a buffer pointing to the value
"*Net::SSLeay::RAND_seed" and num = 23!!! (Except when run in the ActiveState
debugger; then the buffer always points to "10000" and num=5, which is
definetely to few bytes, so OpenSSL complains).
There seems to be a problem with the interface from Net::SSLeay::RAND_seed() to
OpenSSL:RAND_seed(). Does anybody know how to fix this?
Thanks Marcel
(PS: Sampo, is there any Net::SSLeay 1.0.6 in the queue?)
