Hello,
i use redhat 7.1, openssl 0.9.6(24 Sep 2000) on my linux box. When i use a "-rand /dev/urandom" option with "openssl genrsa", the key is never created. It just waits on the command line with the cursor blinking. I get no error messages. without the "-rand" option it seems to be working with a warning "not much extra random data, consider using -rand option".
the full command line is:
openssl genrsa -rand /dev/urandom www.xxx.yyy.key (http://www.xxx.yyy.key) 1024
any idea is appreciated. Thanks.
