I have just worked out on this problem without /dev/rand and egd on
my system. Here are the steps you need:
- Create a file with large size of random data, e.g:
cat /var/log/syslog > /home/xxx/.rnd
- Set the env. $RANDFILE to /home/xxx/.rnd, e.g:
setenv RANDFILE /home/xxx/.rnd
- run openssl application, e.g:
openssl rand
This worked for me.
