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? -- ------------------------------------ Robin P.
