/var/opt/prngd/egd-pool is not one of the default paths for OpenSSL.
OpenSSL 0.9.6x does not use prngd by default.
OpenSSL 0.9.7 does use prngd by default, but not at the locations you
specified. It should however be simple to add your location to the
DEVRANDOM_EGD setting in e_os.h.
OpenSSL 0.9.7 is currently in beta stadium at beta4. I am using it myself
in production.
