Hello! I have been lurking on this list a bit and would like to pose the following question. Is the TLS entropy bug in debian solved?
To be specific, there was an issue with exim hanging when TLS could not find enough entropy to create a secure connection. This caused problems, but mostly with older kernels. I had been stuck on just such a machine and complained to the exim package maintainers at debian who stated that they needed help with GNUTLS but they were having trouble finding someone with the knowledge required. That bug appears to be active, or maybe it should be called a "known issue," as that is what the debian people call it. Here is a link to the description of the issue, http://wiki.debian.org/PkgExim4KnownBugsInSarge My understanding is that GnuTLS does not generate enough entropy to satisfy exim's requirements. Can this issue be addressed? Jeremiah _______________________________________________ Help-gnutls mailing list Help-gnutls@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/help-gnutls
