For those of you who ever have this problem Symptoms
1) Cannot connect to tomcat after a period of time 2) Heavy load on startup 3) Various strangeness with SSL certs e.g. WEB browsers reject certs/incomplete TLS handshake Observed case Tomcat version we tried jakarta-tomcat-5.0.12 and jakarta-tomcat-5.5.17 we are using openssl to generate certs. OS is linux 2.6.17 (Newest) on our own distribution. After reboot tomcat works fine modprobe random and we cannot connect to tomcat on SSL ports and the load goes high. We dont know where the problem lies i.e. in kernel/distro/tomcat/java but one check you might think of taking if you see similar difficulties. Is to reboot without random module or rmmod and restart tomcat. We also tried 1.4 to 1.5_02 & 1.5_06 and still the same problem. Sorry I cant be more specific but I am behind my deadline and its working now. So no more /dev/random for this release. Been at this for a few days. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To start a new topic, e-mail: users@tomcat.apache.org To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
