I'm currenty in the process of building up a new webserver.
The box is 4.3-STABLE from a few days ago, dual-PII 733.
I'm trying to get some randomness out of /dev/random with
which to generate my new CSR. Unfortunately, it seems there
isn't much. I can cat /dev/random and get nothing. If I just
go ahead and try to generate the CSR, it tells me it's using
0 bytes of semi-random data.

On my desktop, which was installed from the same /usr/src & /usr/obj
server, I can get randomness all day long.

Ideas?
