Ok peeps, here an interesting one. It's got me stumped.
I have a passwd program which access /dev/random before it changes a
users password. Thing is hangs for no reason before completing.
Running strace passwd tells me that when it tries to read from
/dev/random it just hangs.
Has anyone seen this before???
I'm trying to upgrade my kernel to see if that fixes it but seeing as
it's stable as it is now and is a live mission critical server, I'm
a little reluctant to do this. Therefore i was after an alternative
fix. But I will rebuild the kernel if that's what it takes.
Help!?
