[Nagiosplug-help] SSL problem?

[Stephen Carpenter]

ok...

I just installed nagios on our development moniroting box and mostly
it works great. However none of the ssl stuff is working at all. It
compiled fine against openldap, and the options are there but...

 ./check_http -p 443 -S -H www.carpanet.net 
16091:error:24064064:random number generator:SSLEAY_RAND_BYTES:PRNG not
seeded:md_rand.c:501:You need to read the OpenSSL FAQ,
http://www.openssl.org/support/faq.html
Unable to open TCP socket

Now I did rea dthe FAQ, and im not so sure on this. The nagios code
apears to be fine (heh seeding with a fixed string, cute)

Anyone else had this problem?

I am on Solaris 8 with nagios 1.0 and latest blugins (beta 2) and
openssl 0.9.6g

Also check_http isn't the only plugin with the problem, all of the
plugins I have tried that claim to offer ssl support have this problem.
check_tcp with -S does the smae (also, its usage statment doesn't
mention that it supports -S even though it aparently does)
