CVS commit: src/sbin/rndctl



Module Name:    src
Committed By:   riastradh
Date:           Thu May  7 19:13:38 UTC 2020

Modified Files:
        src/sbin/rndctl: rndctl.c

Log Message:
Trigger entropy consolidation before saving seed.

This way, whenever /etc/security runs infrequently (daily), or the
operator manually issues rndctl -S, we ensure that all samples taken
during the entire boot are hashed together in the seed for the next
boot.

This should be infrequent enough that it's unlikely to enable the
iterative-guessing attacks that we try to mitigate by not frequently
consolidating entropy.
