Recently I started experiencing an issue where I could
never get logged into my Faq-O-Matic 2.719 install.
This is debian based, from testing, if that matters.

I was able to track it down to the Entropy.pm module
trying to get entropy from /dev/random, but not getting
anything. I changed it to /dev/urandom and things
began working again.

The attempt to read from /dev/random should be
configured to timeout after say 5 seconds and then try
maybe /dev/urandom, etc. if nothing was returned and
/dev/urandom exists. Just an idea.

I'm submitting this in case anyone else experiences
this and to let you know of the timeout related issue.
