RE: More on possible client authentication

Thanks for your reply.

I thought APR is only relevant when using apache and access repositories
using http.
Currently I only access the repository using svn and file.
It APR or random number generator device still relevant in this case?
I vaguely remember seeing some messages about the random number generator
when the UML starts up.

Thanks once again for your help

Regards,
Gerhard Hannemann

One possibility would be that it's taking a long time to generate
random bytes. If you machine doesn't have a suitable source of
entrypy, /dev/random could be quite slow. You might try recompiling
APR and telling it to use /dev/urandom (via the --with-devrandom flag
to configure).
