Hi, I added some code in svn that starts a process in the background which hopefully creates some entropy by trigering disk read/write:
+TMPFILE=`mktemp` + +## Start process in the background: +egrep 'ab' /etc/* >> $TMPFILE 2>&1 & + +# lifetime 10 years $opensslbin req -new -x509 -nodes -sha1 \ -config $certconf -days 3650 \ - -out $privkey -keyout $privkey > /dev/null 2>&1 \ + -out $privkey -keyout $privkey >> $TMPFILE 2>&1 \ || echo "error: problems running openssl." 1>&2 +rm $TMPFILE We have to test if that helps.
