openssl 0.9.7e-p1 25 Oct 2004
I have not been able to find an answer to this question on Google, so I figured I had better ask it here.
In the '/etc/ssl/openssl.cnf' file, there is an entry for:
RANDFILE = $dir/private/.rand # private random number file
Well, that file does not exist. I cannot find it anywhere on my system and I have not been able to figure out how to create it.
Also, where could I locate some information on the 'openssl.cnf' file. There does not appear to be a 'man' page for it. I would like some more information on what all of the settings mean and possibly how to set them for my particular needs.
Thanks!
