Hi

The problem i have it ,
when i wont create a new RSA Private Key for our Apache server
using this command

$ openssl genrsa -des3 -out ca.key 1024

OR

$ openssl genrsa -des3 1024 > ca.key

this error coming for me

worning , not mutch extra random data , consider using the -rand option
generating RSA private key . 1024 bit long moduls.

16863 : error : 24064064 random number generator :SSLEAY_RAND_BYTES :PRNG
not seeded : md__rand .c :538

16863 : error : 04069003 :rsa routines : RSA_GENERATOR_KEY :BN lib : rsa_gen

RE: problem when i create private key

Try this instead

openssl genrsa -des3 -rand file1:file2:file3:file4:file5 -out ca.key 1024

Where file1 to file5 are reasonably random files. Log files are handy for
this.

Is the statement 'There is no such thing as truth' true?
