[Freeipa-devel] running out of entropy during ipa-server-install

Hi all,

Today I hit the "WARNING: Your system is running out of entropy, you
may experience long delays" message while testing Ade's
ipa-server-install changes.

I got a lot more entropy a lot faster by installing haveged(8), and
I blogged about it here:
http://blog-ftweedal.rhcloud.com/2014/05/more-entropy-with-haveged/

Do you think it would be worthwhile to update the above warning
message to additionally suggest installing haveged(8) or pointing to
other help on remediating a low-entropy system?

Cheers,

Fraser
