Sorry, I'm not familiar with that phrase. Do you mean I need to define somewhere in the configuration or compile time /dev/random or /dev/urandom?

yes, /dev/random blocks when it runs out of entropy whereas /dev/urandom becomes not-so-random in that case. AFAIK it's still random enough for general purposes ...

I see the compile option in cyrus-sasl. Am I barking up the
wrong tree?

No, it's the right one, provided that's really your problem.

Cheers, Sebastian Hagedorn
