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?
Well, recompiling SASL *should've* taken care of that, but you could also try disabling APOP in /etc/imapd.conf:
allowapop: 0Restart Cyrus after you make the change. If that helps it means that, for whatever reason, Cyrus still uses /dev/random instead of /dev/urandom ... if it doesn't help, something else must be wrong. I have no idea what that might be.
