Hi All,
Anybody faced Apache hang due to the kernel entropy issue? What was the
workaround adopted for that?
Thanks in advance

2.2.9 recently switched several cases of consuming real entropy with the
psuedorandom equivilant, and it defaults to /dev/urandom if available in
lieu of /dev/random.  You might want to upgrade.
