The Solaris version is very new and I didn't had the time to write much about it.

# cat error_log
[Tue May 11 15:02:50 2004] [warn] Init: PRNG still contains insufficient entropy!
[Tue May 11 15:02:50 2004] [error] Init: Failed to generate temporary 512 bit RSA private key
Configuration Failed

The solution:

  1. Open etc/ssl.conf in your favourite text editor.
  2. Find the following lines:
      SSLRandomSeed startup builtin
      SSLRandomSeed connect builtin
    
  3. Cut&Paste these line to the very begining of the file.
    (above the line <IfDefine SSL>)
