In the trace, there are only a few instances of ENOENT ("No such file or
directory") and some of them immediately follow the log message from
mod_auth_digest that it's about to generate the secret.  These are all
socket and connect calls, which leads me to believe that the code in 
apr_generate_random_bytes() is compiled to use EGD, but that's not
working.  Maybe with that hint, your admins can be more helpful.
