I found commands for creating /dev/random and /dev/urandom but when I
point the SSLRandomseed directive to /dev/random and try to start ssl,
it hangs for a long time.

I don't know if I just didn't wait long enough (I killed the process
after waiting 5 minutes) or  I've created the /dev/random incorrectly or
there's something else missing.

Maybe I'm just impatient and it takes longer for the daemon to start
than I think it should.

Here are the commands I used to created the devices:

                                    mknod -m 644 /dev/random c 1 8
                                    mknod -m 644 /dev/urandom c 1 9
                                    chown root:root /dev/random
/dev/urandom

Can anybody help?  Thanks very much.

Diana
