It is not really related to either... whenever the buffer of randomness is exhausted, readers will block waiting for more. The keyboard tends to be a good place (at least, on Linux systems) to get randomness so if you have physical access to a machine, consider pounding on the keyboard a bit. | If the latter, then it is unlikely to be associated with | /dev/random and much more likely to | be something like an unresolved IP address causing a network timeout.

If the problem /does/ turn out to be /dev/random, you can change your JVMs source of randomness by editing $JAVA_HOME/jre/lib/security/java.security and changing the value of the "securerandom.source" property. The aforementioned file includes in-text documentation to help you with that. It also suggests the name of a system property that can be used to the same effect. - -chris -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.8 (MingW32) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iEYEARECAAYFAkfEU8IACgkQ9CaO5/Lv0PD7iwCdEQUhIHh1uwcZQx102bmKxBnH 8XIAoLNu7exb6nQeWC3XxJ4ULvGbMdkm =nqt4 -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --------------------------------------------------------------------- To start a new topic, e-mail: users@tomcat.apache.org To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
