I have recompiled my cyrus implementation (--with-devrandom=/dev/urandom) and my kernel with no luck. I reboot from the newest 2.4 kernel and my pop clients hang. When checking the 2.6 kernel I looked at /proc/sys/kernel/random/entropy_avail and saw that it very low (like 5-30, not sure on specifics). Is there something I am not doing right with either the kernel or cyrus? -Bob -----Original Message----- From: Sebastian Hagedorn [mailto:Hagedorn@xxxxxxxxxxxx] Sent: Tuesday, November 28, 2006 11:31 AM To: Robert T.

No. You should use --with-devrandom=/dev/urandom. -- Sebastian Hagedorn - RZKR-R1 (Flachbau), Zi. 18, Robert-Koch-Str. 10 Zentrum für angewandte Informatik - Universitätsweiter Service RRZK Universität zu Köln / Cologne University - Tel. +49-221-478-5587 ---- Cyrus Home Page: http://cyrusimap.web.cmu.edu/ Cyrus Wiki/FAQ: http://cyrusimap.web.cmu.edu/twiki List Archives/Info: http://asg.web.cmu.edu/cyrus/mailing-list.html
