How long should it take to generate an rsa key? A "make certificate" or
an explicit openssl command (openssl genrsa -des3 -out server.key 1024)
create a process that runs forever (at least for 24 hours before I
killed it...).
I've read some postings that indicated that bn recursion should be
undefined. I've done that and recompiled without success. I'm not trying
to create a large key, i.e., just 1024 bit.
Is there something wrong here, or do I need to let the process run until
it completes -- possibly days...
