I'm trying to use the serv.cpp and the cli.cpp sample programs in
/openssl-0.9.6a/demos/ssl/ and am having a little difficulty. First of all
I'm running these scripts on a Solaris 7 box. Now I realize the seed
issues, so I also installed egd (a.k.a. entropy) and was able to manually
generate the server certificate and key files.
Here's my problem: When I attempt to connect the client to the server, I
get the following error: "27114:error:24064064:random number
generator:SSLEAY_RAND_BYTES:PRNG not seeded:md_rand.c:474"
Now this was the same error I was getting with the manual server keys until
I installed entropy and changed the rand lines in openssl.cnf. Does anyone
know what I need to change to get the client program (cli.cpp) to use
entropy instead of the default rand program? I have already tried to change
the header file e_os.h to define DEVRANDOM, but I still get the same result.
Any help would greatly help the migraine I'm experiencing!
