OH, never mind I just figured it out. It is trying to write
a .rnd file. The problem is im running the command from a
directory that I don't have write permissions to.

DUH!

Im running 0.9.7 on an solaris 2.9 machine that has /dev/urandom
and /dev/random devices. If a non root user issues this command

./doit.pl test.pdf | ./bin/openssl smime -sign -nodetach -signer ./certs/[EMAIL PROTECTED]

They get "unable to write 'random state'" AFTER it creates the signed
message. If the root user runs the same command it works with out a
problem. I have tried chmod'ing the devices from 644 to 666 with out a
change.

What is the openssl command trying to write to?
