Doubt regarding randomness

[Chandra Sekhar Suram]

Hi,
I have a doubt regarding the Randomness generated using OpenSSL.

I have an application that uses OpenSSL for cryptographic operations including generation of keys.
I used DieHard tool for getting a statistical analysis on the Randomness. Here
many tests are failing.

I am suspecting that Iam not seeding properly.

Can any one help me to properly use the random number module of OpenSSL.

I tried to seed with a big string using Rand_add(buff, sizeof(buff), 25)... and failed with the DieHard.

I do not have any file system support to read random data from files like /dev/urandom.

Kindly help me to come out of this problem..

Regards
Suram
