The key might be the following: ... SSLEAY_RAND_BYTES:PRNG not >seeded:md_ >rand.c:474: ... EGD didn't provide enough entropy for my HPUX box. There is a program called PRNG out there somewhere. Solaris and HP don't have a built in random number generator like Linux. If you run EGD for a while before generating the key you may get your certificate; but, then you may not be able to get enough randomness to run your application. That was where I had problems. -----Original Message----- From: Kerry Chin <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Date: Tuesday, December 12, 2000 3:53 PM Subject: Random State problem >Could someone please help me?
