Didn't check, but that might be the difference, concerning respecting RANDFILE?

I'm not familiar enough with the tcnative or OpenSSL code to understand
the change above just by looking at this snippet. But from Mladen's
comment it seems to me that this would *introduce* respect for RANDFILE.
Am I wrong?

Let's see: doesn't this *remove* the RAND_file_name() line? Man page of RAND_file_name() says, that it returns a file for andomness and respects variable RANDFILE. I neither know the code well, nor did I check now, if there are other references to RANDFILE. Mladen's commit log entry "In case we don't specify the global randFile use like mod_ssl does with builtin. This fixes long init on some platforms." doesn't really contradict this interpretation.

I simply thought it could be helpful to point out recent changes in behaviour.

Rainer
