I am converting from sendmail 8.9.3 to exim 3.36.
I have installed on Solaris 7:
OpenSSL 0.9.6b
egd-0.8
egd starts up okay:
# cd /etc/init.d
# ./egd start
22 sources found
forking into background...
server starting
# ls -AFog /dev/random
srwxr-xr-x 1 0 Jan 10 19:29 /dev/random=
When I cd to /usr/local/ssl/bin and run:
# /usr/local/ssl/bin/openssl req -x509 -newkey rsa:1024 -keyout privkey.pem -out cert.csr -days 9999 -nodes
The result is:
Using configuration from /usr/local/ssl/openssl.cnf
unable to load 'random state'
This means that the random number generator has not been seeded
with much random data.
Generating a 1024 bit RSA private key
13749:error:24064064:random number generator:SSLEAY_RAND_BYTES:PRNG not
seeded:md_rand.c:492:You need to read the OpenSSL FAQ,

13749:error:04069003:rsa routines:RSA_generate_key:BN lib:rsa_gen.c:182:
I looked at the EGD README. It claims one needs to configure egd
for OpenSSL with:
cd /opt/openssl-0.9.6b
./configure --with-egd-pool=/etc/entropy
There is no ./configure -- however, openssl has a ./config and ./Configure
./Configure --with-egd-pool=/etc/entropy
Usage: Configure [no-<cipher> ...] [-Dxxx] [-lxxx] [-Lxxx] [-fxxx] [-Kxxx]
[rsaref] [no-threads] [no-asm] [no-dso] [386] [--prefix=DIR]
[--openssldir=OPENSSLDIR] os/compiler[:flags]
./config --with-egd-pool=/etc/entropy
Operating system: sun4u-whatever-solaris2
Configuring for solaris-sparcv9-gcc
Usage: Configure [no-<cipher> ...] [-Dxxx] [-lxxx] [-Lxxx] [-fxxx] [-Kxxx]
[rsaref] [no-threads] [no-asm] [no-dso] [386] [--prefix=DIR]
[--openssldir=OPENSSLDIR] os/compiler[:flags]
When I grep ./config and ./Configure for 'egd', it returns null.
What am I missing here?
Thanks for any help.
Dave
