Package: krb5-admin-server
Version: 1.4.3-6
Severity: important
While testing kerberos on my home system I noticed that
krb5-admin-server hangs on almost each system startup. After pressing randomly
some keys the boot process goes on. While this is already annoying on my
desktop system, it is not acceptable for a remotely administrated
system.
I think this should be fixable using the following patch and I'm just
recompiling to test it.

Another solution would be to increase the runlevel number hoping for
more entropy later on.
