I am working with OpenSSL 0.9.7i on HPUX.
I have a configure script which performs the following operations
1. Starts the prngd rc script
# /sbin/init.d/prngd.rc start
2. Creates self signed certificate
# /opt/openssl/bin/openssl req -new -x509 -out /opt/openssl/certs/host.pem -keyout /opt/openssl/private/hostkey.pem -nodes -subj /C=US/ST=CA/L=City/O=Company/CN=localhost/[EMAIL PROTECTED] >/tmp/hostcert.out 2>&1
This script executes during system reboot.
Some times the creation of the self signed certificate fails due to lack of random bytes. This problem does not occur during manual script execution
What can be the reason.
Can reading random bytes from prngd in blocking mode solve this problem.
regards,
Prakash
