  Hi.

   I'm trying to build freeswan-1.97 on top of RH 7.2 (2.4.7-14)
  on top of a typical 2.4.17.custom sandbox.

   I see that the build is failing (hanging) while trying to set the secrets.eg file:
  ( It never finishes )

   ....-- snip ..........

  rm -f secrets.eg
  umask 077 ; ( \
          sed '/yyy/,$d' secrets.proto ; \
          if test ! -f /etc/ipsec.secrets ; \
          then ./rsasigkey --verbose 2192 ; \
          else echo " # -- not filled in because ipsec.secrets existed at buil
  d time --" ; \
          fi ; \
          sed '1,/yyy/d' secrets.proto ; \
  ) | egrep -v RCSID >secrets.eg
  getting 137 random bytes from /dev/random...

  ... !snip ...

  I'm sure I can eventually get around the build hang -- but I'm curious as to
  what is wrong -- I particularity don't feel like debugging /dev/random or the build
  quite yet.

  I tryed building this on both a default 2.4.17-10 linux image
  and the 2.4.17-10custom ( typical build sandbox ) image.

   
  Any hints ? I'm pretty sure I followed the install steps.

  Thx.

  John.
