[Bug 650721] Re: dnssec-keygen hangs

Another way to get faster keys in vmware:
use ``/dev/urandom´´ for entropy. ``/dev/urandom´´ gives lot av data.

dnssec-keygen -r /dev/urandom -a RSASHA1 -b 4096 -n ZONE -f KSK zonename

You should know that ``/dev/random´´ is a more great noise pattern than
``/dev/urandom´´. In theory /dev/random to provide a better
securitylevel. But in practice, I have not seen any evidence of it's
true.

Good luck / Anders.
