If you're at the console (not a remote terminal), type on the keyboard to add entropy and see if this helps. If it does, you may have a cyrus-sasl that uses /dev/random (the default). Check the source RPM to verify, and adjust it to use /dev/urandom to stop the blocking. ---- 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
