Hmm...
I'm using openssl-0.9.6-stable-SNAP-20010129 at the moment and download the
egd_rand.c from the CVSweb as mentioned below running on a brand new
UnixWare 7.1.1 machine set up just to check this out with egd-0.8!
I do a:
./config
make
make test
make install
(All done using the standard UnixWare cc which comes as part of the base OS)
Run the following:
/usr/local/ssl/bin/openssl genrsa -des3 -rand /etc/entropy 1024 >
/tmp/test.key
This hangs as it always has for me usual under UnixWare 7.1.1
However using:
/usr/local/ssl/bin/openssl genrsa -des3 -rand /var/adm/syslog 1024 >
/tmp/test.key
Prompts for the PEM pass phrase and then generates the key file in temp as
anticipated.
Any idea's now or am I blatantly overlooking something here?
Cheers
John B

I have introduced a rewritten version of the rand_egd.c file which
I have tested on HP-UX, Linux and Unixware-7. As of now it is only
included in the 0.9.7-dev release. We need to discuss whether it
will also be included in the 0.9.6a release to be expected soon.
The interface is drop-in compatible, so that you can take the file
either from the next snapshot of 0.9.7 created this evening or
by directly downloading it via CVSweb
http://www.openssl.org/source/cvs/exp/crypto/rand/rand_egd.c?rev=1.13
and then just putting it into your 0.9.6 source tree.
