Hello Gerard, Openssl is missing /dev/random or a file named .rnd in your Homedirectory. Just do a cat file1 file2 file3 >$HOME/.rnd. Or copy randseed.bin generated by pgp to $HOME/.rnd. .rnd should have a minimum size of 1024 bytes. After this it should work. Greetings Harald >>> Gerard GACHELIN <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> 28.03.2000 11.01 Uhr >>> Hello, I installed openssl-0.9.5a-beta2 and rsaref2.0 on a Sparcserver running Solaris2.7. No problem during the install process. But I can't create a new certificate. Here is what I type : /usr/local/ssl/bin/openssl req -new -x509 -days 1000 -nodes -keyout ssl.key/server.key -out ssl.crt/server.crt openssl answers with the following error message : Using configuration from /usr/local/ssl/ssl/openssl.cnf unable to load 'random state' This means that the random number generator has not been seeded with much random data. Generating a 1024 bit RSA private key 6724:error:24064064:random number generator:SSLEAY_RAND_BYTES:PRNG not seeded:md_rand.c:538: 6724:error:04069003:rsa routines:func(105) :BN lib:rsa_gen.c:182: The same command is working fine unde a Linux. Is there any known problem with Solaris ? I Didn't find anything in the FAQs. Thanks a lot for any unformation. -- ********************************************************** * Gerard GACHELIN e-mail : [EMAIL PROTECTED] * * LIRMM (UMR 5506 CNRS/UMII) MONTPELLIER (FRANCE) * * WWW LIRMM Home Page http://www.lirmm.fr/ * ********************************************************* ______________________________________________________________________ OpenSSL Project http://www.openssl.org User Support Mailing List [EMAIL PROTECTED] Automated List Manager [EMAIL PROTECTED] ______________________________________________________________________ OpenSSL Project http://www.openssl.org User Support Mailing List [EMAIL PROTECTED] Automated List Manager [EMAIL PROTECTED]
