[Freeipa-devel] Entropy aka ipa-server-install failed

Hi,

I just tried to install FreeIPA on a fresh F20 VM and
'ipa-server-install --setup-dns' failed to start FreeIPA finally after
everything was configured.

The reason was that starting named timed out because
generate-rndc-key.sh was basically blocking because there was no entropy
for /dev/random left to generate a proper key. I wonder if it would make
sense to call generate-rndc-key.sh during ipa-server-install if
--setup-dns is given to avoid this.

bye,
Sumit
