Hi,

basically if you upgrade Openssl, it will also come with new prngd.

Re: write() in socket_write() failed: Broken pipe

The message suggests that whatever connected to the prngd had closed its end of the pipe by the time prngd went to write() something to it.

Re: write() in socket_write() failed: Broken pipe

for whole ssl to upgrade a reboot is need. Is there any method to install only prng where no reboot need. I installed next version of it but ssl was not taking it for processing.
