Hi all,

  I got my openssl 0.9.6g installed today.  i am brand new to this so i am a bit 
concerned about the timeframe here.

  I entered the command

  genrsa -des3 -out server.key 1024

  and i got the PRNG not seeded problem.

  So I installed /dev/random


   Then I entered the command

   genrsa -des3 -random /dev/random -out server.key 1024

   since dev/random is a data file & i know it is randomly changing.

   an hour later i still haven't been prompted for a passcode.

   is this a reasonable timeframe or am i doing something wrong?

Thanks
Jem
