sasl in Debian etch uses by default /dev/urandom. We filled a bug to
get sasl use urandom in stead of random. Luckily we have Debian
maintainer in the house that pushed it for us :)

The /dev/random device hands out "high-quality" random bits, up to the
limit of the "random" information it has been seeded with. The
/dev/urandom device does not have this limitation. It continues to hand
out bits of decreasing quality as lon
Hm! I did some additional reading after receiving this, and it seems that
pursuing the random number generator path is the way to go...
A coupla quick questions (that I think are likely going to be answered
with "it depends" answers):

Cyrus could lag at this stage if there is a problem reversing its own
IP. With the 'listen' argument specified as is, I would think it would
be reversing 127.0.0.1 (or possibly the main IP on the box?). Make sure
that you have both of these IPs specified in the hosts file. Also make
sure that your

This problem is related to Debian using /dev/random instead of /dev/urandom.
Short term solution would be to rm /dev/random
mknod /dev/random c 1 9
The other solution for you would be to recompile the sources and change
the configure to use urandom instead of random... You can search the
On note #3, I imagine changing to a 2.6 kernel has to do with the
entropy pool in /dev/random as it differs in 2.4 from 2.6

Hello all,
I'm new to Cyrus. Historically, I've used Qpopper, Sendmail, and UW IMAP.
We recently switched to Cyrus for IMAP. It came highly recommended...
We've got this on a darned burly machine, running some very recent version
of Debian, with a fast CPU, 4GB RAM, and fast SAS drives. When
