script failure & random seed file

   It looks like you are using the program prngd to generate randomness,
   but prngd isn't running.  GnuPG needs a source of entropy, whether it
   is native to the OS, prngd, egd, or otherwise.  It won't run with no
   entropy source at all.

Dave,
I have a couple more questions for you.  How do we change from prngd to
/dev/random?  Does this require a complete rebuild of GNUpg?

Also, a random_seed file was generated at compile time and placed into the
.gnupg directory.  This is normally the source of entropy for GNUpg,
correct?



Thanks
