Thanks Erwann:
I checked my System and have installed PRNG. I checked it by using:
—------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
# ps -ef | grep prng
root 47354 6518 0 14:13:01 - 0:03 /opt/freeware/sbin/prngd
-f /dev/egd-pool -m 666
#
—------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
But still when I run OPENSSL.....command it gives me same error PRNG
not seeded - wonder why!
THANKS!

Sorry if I offended you. You didn't specify in your first post that
you
checked the URL, and since this question is in the FAQ, that means it
is
asked a *lot* of times. :)

No, you don't have a /dev/random device entry.
I don't use AIX (only Linux or Solaris), so I can only speculate.
Why don't you install prngd and either do:
- set the random pool to the default (something like
/var/run/egd-pool),
but you'll have to specify the option "-rand /var/run/egd-pool" or
an
equivalent to every program using the OpenSSL library
- set the random pool to "/dev/random", so everyone will be able to
use
this random pool
- set the random pool to "~/.rnd", but it will be easily usable only
to
one particular user, while the others will have to use the "-rand
..."
equivalent
- set the random pool to the default, and set the RANDFILE
environment
variable so that it points to the good pool
One of these things should work...
