I've been trying to set up gnupg. I installed it from the ports collection, and then ran "gpg --gen-key" and got through all of the various menu options. And then it started to generate the random bytes, and asked me to "do some work to give the OS a chance to collect more entropy". It's been running for quite a while (and I've typed plenty of characters), but it still hasn't finished (it's been going for close to 20 minutes). This isn't normal, is it?
