[openssl-users] PRNG is not seeded

Hi,

I'm using PRNGD to seed my random numbers (I'm on a system without /dev/random and /dev/urandom).   I occasionally get the dreaded "PRNG is not seeded" error.

I know this is caused by a lack of available entropy in the system; but what can I do to address this?  Is it just a matter of waiting until enough entropy has been collected?  Is there any kind of workaround?

Thanks

ScottN
