Hi Amitav,

Check if you have the Random Number Generator files in your /dev directoy.

# ll /dev/*random

Check if the Random Number Generator is installed.

# swlist -l fileset | grep -i prng

If you don't have this product installed you can download it for 11.11 from below site, otherwise post your hpux version.

You must have a support contract:
The content identified requires a support agreement, HP CarePack or warranty.

I would suggest you just install the product. It may have documentation with it.

There are a few comments with the Openssl product:
