PRNG not seeded, service won't start

I've tried this one. It doesn't work. There is plenty of entropy on the box, but it still won't start with the same error.

I'm attempting to upgrade from bind 9.10.4-P8 to 9.12.2-P1 and the

service refuses to start. This is on a CentOS 6.10 machine. I ran into

the same issue on CentOS 7 and was able to fix it by making sure that

rngd is running before the named service starts. That same fix is not

working for CentOS 6. I'm at a loss as to how to fix this and Google is

failing me now.


The error in the log says:

Sep 17 18:59:08 nsm named[3926]: openssl_link.c:296: fatal error:

Sep 17 18:59:08 nsm named[3926]: OpenSSL pseudorandom number generator

cannot be initialized (see the `PRNG not seeded' message in the OpenSSL FAQ)


Does any one have any ideas of what I'm missing or what I can do to

resolve this (besides upgrading this box to CentOS 7)?
