xdm startup takes 1-2minutes with 100% cpu
strace shows that xdm is reading from /dev/urandom again and again:
read(4, "V>\24\243B2B\330\346\24\215\322\202\277\276\340\275^\264"...,
8192) = 8192
read(4, "ES}\310\16\220\\\322\265(i\365\233t\3243\205uj\356\307"...,
8192) = 8192
read(4, "\230\16\26\367\247\241\275\255\302\36708?\221\4\343\10"...,
8192) = 8192
read(4, "F\374\204\323\37\325\275\217d\316\331\203O\271\211?)\244"...,
8192) = 8192
read(4, "t\214\30-\312\334^\255\325\317\317Fi\221*Di\266\216\361"...,
8192) = 8192
is it a bug or a feature ;-) ?
i am using:
debian potato with the unofficial x4 packages for potato from:
deb http://people.debian.org/%7Ecpbotha/ xf401_potato/i386/
deb http://people.debian.org/%7Ecpbotha/ xf401_potato/all/
linux kernel 2.2.17 + usb backport
the xdm package: (I am using the configuration files from the package -
I did no midifications!)
i xdm 4.0.1-8 X display manager
I tested it on 2 hosts - both had the problem.
Before I did build xfree86_4.0.1-0phase2v18 for potato myself and didn't
have this problem
(at least it didn't take that long).
thx for any help/comments
