Apache 2.0.55 with mod_perl 2.0x An extra configure option given by the environment variable EXTRA_ECONF="--with-devrandom=/dev/urandom" which should change the random device away from /dev/random to /dev/urandom, does not seem to have any effect to the apache2 executable. The same option applied to the vanilla 2.0.55 source works however. (/dev/random seems not to work without keyboard interaction - e.g. in an internet server maintained only by ssh - and so the start- or stop script blocks) Would this be worth to enter a new USE flag? ("urandom" or similar?)
