in one window start:
cat /dev/random
in the other:
perl -le 'system ("cat /proc/sys/kernel/random/entropy_avail"), sleep 1 while 1'
3712
0
0
688
and if in the third window I try to feed /dev/random while doing the above:
perl -le 'system ("echo stas >> /dev/random") while 1'it makes no difference at all. no entropy is added. On the other hand /dev/urandom seems to be always full.
