Package: wnpp
The current maintainer and uploader of ekeyd, Simtec Electronics <supp...@simtec.co.uk> and Vincent Sanders <vi...@debian.org>, is no longer around. Because of this, I orphan this package now. Maintaining a package requires time and skills. Please only adopt this package if you will have enough time and attention to work on it. If you want to be the new maintainer, please see <URL: https://www.debian.org/devel/wnpp/#howto-o > for detailed instructions how to adopt a package properly. Some information about this package: Package: ekeyd Description: Simtec Electronics UDEKEY01 Entropy Key Daemon This is a driver for the Simtec Electronics Entropy Key. It is only needed if you have such a device (or devices). It provides a daemon and tools to drive and control it, as well as options for injecting entropy directly into the kernel's pool, or serving it via the EGD protocol. Package: ekeyd-egd-linux Description: Transfers entropy from an EGD to the Linux kernel pool This utility reads from an EGD capable service over TCP and writes the entropy retrieved to the Linux kernel random pool. Typically this will be used on clusters or virtual hosts where direct access to useful entropy is hard. -- Happy hacking Petter Reinholdtsen
