Hello,

is the SSL system to connect to https://www.cacert.org still managed by BIT ;?

I was wondering, when Wytze or Mendel have the opportunity, I would like to
know how good is the entropy pool on debian systems. Much like

watch -n 1 " echo 'entropy available: $( cat
/proc/sys/kernel/random/entropy_avail )' "

I am wondering if a possible lack of entropy can be a bottleneck in the CAcert
production systems.

Cheers,

Guillaume

PS : we need to change the ownership of the list as Daniel and Evaldo are far
away now. Ian if you hear this...
