Cryptographic software needs a source of unpredictable data to work correctly. Many open source operating systems provide a “randomness device” (/dev/urandom or /dev/random) that serves this purpose. All OpenSSL versions try to use /dev/urandom by default
then try other good comands to know ::
$ openssl version
e.g. mine is OpenSSL 0.9.8b 04 May 2006
$ openssl ciphers -v
$ openssl speed
$ openssl s_time -connect remote.host:443
