> 1/ Why is there the delay?

I think the delay you observe is caused by aesCBCencrypt or
aesCBCdecrypt trying to find some entropy from /dev/random.

Try to move the mouse or do something else when secstored
is encrypting or decrypting the secstore.
It should speed up the process.

"?!?" should be the IP address of the secstore client,
but since there is no /net/tcp/*/remote file on Unix,
it cannot display it.

This is needed for RADIUS authentication.
It's probably useless in your case.
