 >Description:
When trying to install tripwire from the ports collection, I get to
the point where install.sh calls twadmin to generate the site key.
At that point, I waited for an hour with the CPU at 100% before
growing too impatient to continue and terminating the process. I
assume this is not the standard behavior. I've posted this problem
to the sourceforge site as well since I don't know if it's a bug in
the software or in the port.

 >How-To-Repeat:
run make install from /usr/ports/security/tripwire using the ports
downloaded on 4/13/2006. Follow the installation process until prompted
to enter a pass phrase for key generation. Enter your pass phrase and
then wait, and wait, and wait.

 >Fix:
I don't have a fix.
