Random Number Generator not seeded, Disabling SSL support

[duncan98]

hello
The program outputs "Random Number Generator not seeded, Disabling SSL support" when running in debug mode, what does that mean?

@duncan98

What program? What classes are you using?

Seeding is important to make sure that a RNG doesn't prodoce the same, pseudo random numbers.

My WAG would be that the SSL implementation cannot find a cryptographically secure RNG installed on the system. No mention of it being windoze or Linux. I know the common Linux kernels maintain a "system noise" entropy pool to be used in seeding the RNG.
