I don't know if it would even relate at all, but I noticed on the
openssl list some comments about /dev/random blocking. I got the
impression that using prngd might actually be better(?) faster(?)
than using /dev/random on some systems. Openssl 0.9.7 when released
will even be able to automatica

I am working with RedHat 7.1 with a 2.4.2 kernel, and I have run into a
problem with saslpasswd
