 Priority:  normal                               |   Milestone:       
Component:  prelude-manager                      |     Version:  0.9  
 Severity:  normal                               |    Keywords:       
-------------------------------------------------+--------------------------
 When generating the TLS certificate using prelude-adduser, the generation
 of the certificate takes between 2 and 30 (!) minutes, depending on the
 kernel and gnutls version.
 Tracing the processes shows that, for an unknown reason, GnuTLS is using
 /dev/random instead of /dev/urandom (both exist on the test system)
 This is more a GnuTLS problem, yet maybe there is a function which can be
 called to set the random parameters ?
