setting up VPN on Ubuntu 16.04 build-ca error message
Running Ubuntu 16.04 on a HP Pavilion laptop
In following your tutorial "How to set Up an OpenVPN server on Ububtu 16.04" I got to step 4 "Build the Certificate Authority" and when I ran the ./build-ca command I got the following output:
Generating a 2048 bit RSA private key
........................................................+++
......+++
unable to write 'random state'
writing new private key to 'ca.key'
As you can see it is telling me it can not write the random state. I want to know if I can ignore this message and continue or what I might try to fix it.
Any and all help is appreciated.
sorry I tried to bold the line "unable to write 'random state'" but it did it to the following line. I am new to this site.
While I wait for an answer I decided to try to continue.
Upon running the ./build-key-server server I go the same message on the last line of the output:
1 out of 1 certificate requests certified, commit? [y/n]y
Write out database with 1 new entries
Data Base Updated
unable to write 'random state'
Any and all help is appreciated.
