------- Comment #3 from csm at gnu dot org 2006-06-06 20:14 ------- Also, a good workaround (on Linux and other Unices) is to add this line to your classpath.security file:
securerandom.source=file:/dev/random This is generally a good idea. If you have available some file or device that you can read random bytes out of, you should read that for PRNG seeds, instead of using the fallback implementation in VMSecureRandom. Note that you can even set that variable to an http URL, such as HotBits. You can also use the system property `java.security.egd'. It, too, takes a URL. For systems without /dev/random, you may have some luck with the entropy gathering daemon, http://egd.sourceforge.net/. -- http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=27908
