txs to those that gave me attention. I was wondering, if in case there´s nothing to do with the random stuffs in HPUX, and I think the command with parameter "-des" has something to do with this, will it solve if I generate certificates WITHOUT the "-des" option? Again, I cannot test it on my own, this is a production machine...

When running the command below openssl genrsa -des3 -out mydomain.com.key 1024 to create the key pair certificate, it gives me the error: ===================== warning, not much extra random data, consider using the -rand option Generating RSA private key, 1024 bit long modulus 26995:error:24064064:random number generator:SSLEAY_RAND_BYTES:PRNG not seeded:md_rand.c:503:You need to read the OpenSSL FAQ, http://www.openssl.org/support/faq.html 26995:error:04081003:rsa routines:RSA_BUILTIN_KEYGEN:BN lib:rsa_gen.c:183: ===================== Please, any idea on wot´s going on? This is a production machine, Im in touch with the SA, I wont be able to perform tests, reallocate files, etc. Please your prompt attention.
