Hi Sajeewa,

In http://ambermd.org/tutorials/advanced/tutorial3/section1.htm can read
about random seed: "If you are using AMBER 10 (bugfix.26 or later) or AMBER
11 or later you can do this automatically by setting ig=-1 in the cntrl
namelist."
So I think you just have to apply the bugfixes or upgrade to AMBER12, as
mentioned Adrian.
