To better understand the problem, let me tell you error messages -->
While running stunnel or openssl key generation (even after egd installtion
on solaris-7 with random path option)-->

# openssl req -new -x509 -nodes -out stunnel.pem -keyout stunnel.pem

This means that the random number generator has not been seeded
with much random data.

Hi All,
encountering problem with OpenSSL 0.9.5a  while generating key on Solaris7
and solaris-8. I guess some of you might had this problem. I did see the
same almost same error message while running "stunnel 3.8p4". According to
there site http://www.stunnel.org/faq/troubleshooting.html#ToC14 , I
installed egd 0.8 on solaris 7 (its sparc) and solaris 8 (intel version I am
trying with). While I am able to install egd 0.8
http://www.lothar.com/tech/crypto/ on sol-7 but not on sol-8. This is
problem-1. Problem -2 is, I recompiled the stunnel and openssl on Solaris -7
machine with option of "random file", now stunnel is working but still
encountering problem with OpenSSL. Any suggestion ???

TIA,
sk
