generating dnssec keys for a zone
I am trying to generate dnssec keys for my zone. When I type the command:
dnssec-keygen -a RSA -b 512 -n ZONE myzone.com from my working named directory, it looks like the command is doing something, but it has been running for at least 30 min now. I am wondering if this should take this long or if I am doing something wrong. |

Re: generating dnssec keys for a zone
Hi there,
You may be having a depleted entropy issue. By default, dnssec-keygen uses /dev/random as its source of random data for key generation. If, for some reason, demand outstrips supply, the process could appear to hang, while it waits for more numbers. One solution might be to use /dev/urandom instead. It's a "less random" (and hence easier to generate) source of random data. |
