Yeah, a number of motherboards now come with TPMs that include hardware RNGs...
My current personal server (Dell R710) has just such a beastie -- there is some
info here: http://domsch.com/blog/?p=107 and I *think* that the rng-tools
package now supports it natively....
I have an R610, but either the bios has it disabled or it did not find it,
though I was
pretty sure I enabled it in the BIOS. And yes I confirmed the support is in the
rng-utils on rhel5.
I spent *many* hours futzing with this, rebooting into the BIOS to try and
enable the TPM, upgrading the BIOS, beating my head against a wall, etc...
Eventually I realized that I had purchased the server from the Dell outlet center and
even though the build list included the standard (RoW - "Rest of World"!)
motherboard it actually had the China specific board that is identical, but doesn't
include a TPM....
Maybe I'm suffering from that too? I looked at dmidecode, but it didn't give me
much info.
Matt, is there anyway to confirm if the TPM is there (but potentially disabled
in bios) ?
