Comment 1 RHEL Program Management 2010-06-02 08:06:08 UTC

This request was evaluated by Red Hat Product Management for inclusion in a Red
Hat Enterprise Linux major release.  Product Management has requested further
review of this request by Red Hat Engineering, for potential inclusion in a Red
Hat Enterprise Linux Major release.  This request is not yet committed for
inclusion.

Comment 2 Tomas Mraz 2010-06-21 14:32:19 UTC

Fixed. Note that due to libgcrypt requiring initialization of the FIPS random number generator in the FIPS mode before any other call to the crypto library it will block on virtual machines or other machines with low entropy source. I suggest mount --bind /dev/urandom /dev/random as temporary workaround on the test machines.

Successfully verified.
