I am seeing a very slow initialization on a single Windows 2003 box with openssl-0.9.8l.
During initialization the function RAND_screen gets called. This effectively hashes the frame buffer to generate entropy. In our case we are running as an IIS user and I'm not even sure what screen it's getting. This function takes on the order of 3 seconds. We have other identical boxes which are behaving correctly and a single box which is very slow. Two questions. 1. It appears that this is deprecated so would it be reasonable to simply remove it? 2. Does anyone have any idea why this function is misbehaving? -- BRIAN MAKIN Senior Software Engineer ma...@vivisimo.com Vivisimo [Search Done Right™] 1710 Murray Avenue Pittsburgh, PA 15217 USA tel: +1.412.422.2499 vivisimo.com ______________________________________________________________________ OpenSSL Project http://www.openssl.org User Support Mailing List openssl-users@openssl.org Automated List Manager majord...@openssl.org
