You need to have a source for the -rand flag.
My solution was to use egd and create a file of sufficent length full of
random data.
then the command line was:
openssl genrsa -rand <file w/random data> -des3 1024 > server.key
or
openssl genrsa -rand <file w/random data> -des3 -out server.key 1024
Hope that helps.
