This daemon feeds data from a random number generator to the kernel's random number entropy pool, after first checking the data to ensure that it is properly random.
GPL-3.0+
* Sat Feb 06 2016 crrodriguez@opensuse.org
- 90-hwrng.rules: Improve udev rule, autostart rngd only
when there are hwrng drivers available and one is actually
bound to the device.
* Mon Oct 19 2015 dmueller@suse.com
- enable aarch64 as well
* Sat Oct 17 2015 dvaleev@suse.com
- Enable Power64 architecture. Starting with Power7+ we have in
CPU random number generator
* Thu Sep 18 2014 ro@suse.de
- add patch: rng-tools-check_signals.patch (bnc#897335)
check for signals in all loops to react to SIGINT/SIGTERM
* Wed Sep 03 2014 idonmez@suse.com
- Apparently --fill-watermark expects a number between 0 and 4096
now. So we now set it to 3700 which is ~90% of 4096.
* Mon Aug 25 2014 idonmez@suse.com
- Update to version 5
* Support RDRAND capable systems that don't have AES-NI
* Man page spelling fixes
* Don't use fixed AES key for data reduction
* Platform: Support x32. x86-64 micro-optimizations.
* Fix RDRAND data reduction
* Enable RDSEED instruction
- Add libgcrypt dependency needed for RDRAND
- Add back --fill-watermark=90% to the service file
- Package NEWS file
- Spec cleanup
* Fri Aug 22 2014 crrodriguez@opensuse.org
- package is needed on %arm (raspberry pi at least).
* Tue Jun 24 2014 crrodriguez@opensuse.org
- systemd: Do not start in containers, in that case
entropy comes from the "host"
- systemd: Conflict with haveged, only one entropy daemon
must be running.
* Wed Apr 30 2014 crrodriguez@opensuse.org
- Fix automagic startup with udev/systemd virtio-rng KERNEL
name is hw_random not hwrng..
* Wed Apr 30 2014 crrodriguez@opensuse.org
- in some parallel universe --fill-watermark took a percentage
value, not in this incarnation at least, where it takes
an integer. just use the sane builtin default
