Create a $HOME/.rnd file with some random contents and try again.
Additionally: "make certificate" actually tries to find some files to
seed the PRNG: /var/log/messages /var/adm/messages /kernel /vmunix
/vmlinuz /etc/hosts /etc/resolv.conf. Can it be that Rhapsody has none
of them? Which such files exists on Rhapsody?
