[Pkg-openssl-devel] Bug#912087: reassign to systemd #912087 | openssh-server: Slow startup after the upgrade to 7.9p1

control: reassign -1 systemd 239-13

I hereby reassign the bug to systemd.
The problem is that OpenSSL is now using getrandom() for entropy which
is not (yet) ready and therefore OpenSSH needs longer for startup by
simply waiting for entropy.

Theodore Y. Ts'o suggested adding hw-rng to KVM/virt setups [0].
Everything else should work just "fine".

Either way there is nothing OpenSSL wise that can be done. A similar
issue [1] has been reported once GnuTLS which to getrandom().

Systemd wise there is
	https://github.com/systemd/systemd/issues/4271
	https://github.com/systemd/systemd/pull/10621
where people want systemd to systemd to credit entropy. I'm not much a
fan of that but that is a different story.
