Hello,
I am currently working with openssl on Soalris 2.6 by way of the
Perl Net::SSLeay module. I dont seem to have any problem getting sample
clients and servers up and running on linux, however I'm having a devil of
a time on Solaris.
My basic problem is the old "Random Number Generator not seeded!" Warning
that I get from my programs. I follwoed the instructiosn in the users
FAQ, about setting up the .rnd file by way of the environment var
$RANDFILE, and still no luck. Three questions:
1. Anyone else have these problems with Solaris 2.6?
2. Other than the FAQ is there a detailed description of how to fix this
problem (i.e the FAQ recommedns use of the RAND_egd, but it doesnt say HOW
to use it :))
3. If the random number generator is not seeded, does this mean that
packets are not encrypted? OR jsut that they are encrypted with an easily
guessable key?
Cheers,

"That ideas should spread from one to another over the globe, for the moral and
mutual instruction of man, and improvement of his condition, seems to have been
peculiarly and benevolently designed by nature, when she made them , like fire,
expansible over all space, without lessening their density at any point, and
like the air in which we breathe, move, and have our physical being, incapable
of confinement or exclusive appropriation. Inventions then cannot, in nature,
be a subject of property."
