Hi all. Maybe, this is not meant for this list, but here it is.
I have a Tru64 UNIX 4.0F box, which doesn't have /dev/random. I do, however, have PRNGD 0.9.25 installed and it gives me an EGD socket. OpenSSL and other programs, like OpenSSH, BIND use it happily. I have seen that APR can be configured to use either /dev/random or EGD. However, mod_auth_digest insists on /dev/random or, better said, it insists on APR_HAS_RANDOM being set. QUESTION 1: Can mod_auth_digest use EGD instead of /dev/random? QUESTION 2: If yes, how do I go about setting things up? I imagine I'll have to do some hacking to the configure scripts. I've already tried hacking main configure so that it calls APR configure with "--with-egd" switch, but nothing gives. Any advice? This is not stictly development question, but it is not strictly a configuration one either. Hope to hear some advice soon. Nix.
