Subject: Creating a certificate under Apache & ModSSL

Hi,

I hope this is not off topic.

Using RedHat Linux 6.2
Apache 1.3.24 with Mod_SSL
OpenSSL 0.0.6d

Everything is installed and seems to be working.  I am now trying to create my "private key".  The documentation from Thawte states the following command:

openssl genrsa -rand /dev/urandom -out www.mudomain.com.key 1024

When I try the above, it creates a 0 byte file and just hangs until break.  Any idea how to go about creating my private key?

Thanks,
Don
