Package: rng-tools
Version: 2-unofficial-mt.14-1
X-Debbugs-CC: [email protected],

rng-tools does not perform as expected on a Beaglebone Black. The
dev-board has a built-in rng, and the kernel driver loads as expected.
/dev/hwrng is full, but /dev/random is suffering depletion. After
draining /dev/random, it takes 646 seconds to read 10 bytes in
blocking mode.
The problem seems to be the wrapper script of systemd around the old
sysinit script. Or maybe the wrapper is OK but systemd is the problem.
I don't know what the problem is at the moment.
Manually running '/etc/init.d/rng-tools start' and things work as
expected. /dev/random has a bountiful stream of bits.
A related question where I tried to troubleshoot it is at
https://unix.stackexchange.com/q/475489/56041. Unfortunately, I don't
know enough about the system components and they way they are supposed
to interact.
This report may be related:
https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=776597 .
This may be CVE worthy. It is effectively a security related DoS due
to a configuration problem.
At this point I think it would be wise to provide a proper systemd
service file for rng-tools.
I am happy to manually install and test an updated *.deb package for
rng-tools. Just point me to a download.

Description: system and service manager
systemd is a system and service manager for Linux. It provides aggressive
parallelization capabilities, uses socket and D-Bus activation for starting
services, offers on-demand starting of daemons, keeps track of processes
using Linux control groups, supports snapshotting and restoring of the system
state, maintains mount and automount points and implements an elaborate
transactional dependency-based service control logic.
.
systemd is compatible with SysV and LSB init scripts and can work as a
drop-in replacement for sysvinit.
.
Installing the systemd package will not switch your init system unless you
boot with init=/bin/systemd or install systemd-sysv in addition.
