Sorry if I offended you. You didn't specify in your first post that you checked the URL, and since this question is in the FAQ, that means it is asked a *lot* of times. :) > confused - should I need to install EGD or PRNG....? I checked my IBM > Server and could'nt find /dev/random....? No, you don't have a /dev/random device entry. I don't use AIX (only Linux or Solaris), so I can only speculate. Why don't you install prngd and either do: - set the random pool to the default (something like /var/run/egd-pool), but you'll have to specify the option "-rand /var/run/egd-pool" or an equivalent to every program using the OpenSSL library - set the random pool to "/dev/random", so everyone will be able to use this random pool - set the random pool to "~/.rnd", but it will be easily usable only to one particular user, while the others will have to use the "-rand ..." equivalent - set the random pool to the default, and set the RANDFILE environment variable so that it points to the good pool One of these things should work... -- Erwann ABALEA <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> - RSA PGP Key ID: 0x2D0EABD5 ----- The secret of success is knowing who to blame for your failures.
