[Pkg-openssl-devel] Bug#922732: openssl: ~/.rnd (RANDFILE) ignored

[Thorsten Glaser]

Package: openssl
Version: 1.1.1a-1
Severity: minor

When I do “openssl rand 4 | hd”, the file ~/.rnd is ignored
(judging from its tiestamp and md5sum, it’s not rewritten,
and probably not read either) despite me adding the line

	RANDFILE		= $ENV::HOME/.rnd

to openssl.cnf as described in config(5).
