First: you want to run egd.pl on one or more sockets, so
egd.pl /etc/entropy
is what you want. You have tried to start egd servicing three sockets:
/etc/entropy, read and 255. You should find a socket named "read" somewhere :-)
Once egd is running, use egc.pl (not the "c") to test:
egc.pl /etc/entropy get
It should show you how many bits of entropy are available.

You want to run
openssl s_client -rand /etc/entropy -connect localhost:443 -state -debug

This are two messages:
* the PRNG was not seeded, this should now be solved with the -rand directive.
* There is no server available at port 443 of your host. If you have an
openssl s_server running, the default is 4433. At 443 there would be the
https server.
