I just build OpenSSL 0.9.5, standard, on Solaris (SunOS) 5.6. When I run "openssl s_client -connect www.foo.bar:443" I get this: unable to load 'random state' This means that the random number generator has not been seeded with much random data. Consider setting the RANDFILE environment variable to point at a file that 'random' data can be kept in (the file will be overwritten). connect: Connection refused connect:errno=146 error in s_client On BSD machines this doesn't happen (I guess it guesses correctly that it can use /dev/urandom or something?). I know I can set the RANDFILE env variable to something; what are other Solaris users using? Thanks. -T. ______________________________________________________________________ OpenSSL Project http://www.openssl.org User Support Mailing List [EMAIL PROTECTED] Automated List Manager [EMAIL PROTECTED]
