Re: Entropy Source



I'm using XENU, which has it:

pseudo-device   rnd

as does XEN0.

What device should I use for an entropy source?


Did you build a kernel without pseudo-device random?  Don't do that.  We
should probably make it impossible to do that.  It breaks many much less
obvious things.

We should find a way to have domain 0 hand the client domains a chunk of
entropy at startup time.
