Change history
---------------
3-MAR-2005
  Fixed a problem with gathering enough random data to generate a key. The
  problem shows up when trying to run PMDF_EXE:TLS_CERTREQ.EXE as an assert
  error when trying to generate the private key. It also shows up when trying
  to send a message using TLS. In this case, an error message appears in the
  debug log files containing the strings "random number generator" and "PRNG
  not seeded". (D/E 9893)


Installation
------------
OpenVMS

     Before installing a new TLSSHR.EXE, issue the following command:
 
     $ PMDF SHUTDOWN DISPATCHER
 
     TLSSHR.EXE needs to be copied to the PMDF_EXE: directory and then
  installed with the command:

     $ INSTALL REPLACE PMDF_TLS_LIBRARY

  on all members of the OpenVMS cluster running out of the affected PMDF
  directory tree.

     Next, be sure to start the dispatcher by issuing the following command:
 
     $ PMDF STARTUP DISPATCHER
