Summary: problem with ipsec key generation

Initial Comment:
From Message Board:

I am using Devil Linux 0.44, and Freeswan is getting 
stuck when I try to generate an RSA key.  The command 
I am using is   ipsec rsasigkey --verbose 1024    
which gets stuck after saying     getting 64 random 
bytes from /dev/random.  I tried generating an RSA key 
on my main PC which also has ipsec on it, and it takes 
less than a minute to get a key back.  What can be 
done to fix this?  

------------------------------------------

Could be the /dev/random, because it is not 
initialized ?!

Summary: Add Zebra

Initial Comment:
http://www.zebra.org

GNU Zebra is free software (distributed under GNU 
Generic Public License) that manages TCP/IP based 
routing protocols. It supports BGP-4 protocol as 
described in RFC1771 (A Border Gateway Protocol 4) as 
well as RIPv1, RIPv2 and OSPFv2. Unlike traditional, 
Gated based, monolithic architectures and even the so-
called "new modular architectures" that remove the 
burden of processing routing functions from the cpu 
and utilize special ASIC chips instead, Zebra software 
offers true modularity.

Great!

When you do so please take note of what is done for the Debian distribution 
and do something similar (especially the ./configure stuff).  This requires 
applying 021_setipaddr.diff, 022_lockfile-fix.diff, and 025_packet_count.diff 
to the source for the main pppd but gives the result that Portslave for 
dial-in and a dial-out pppd can both use the same pppd binary saving disc 
space on your CD and saving memory.
