If you don't care about the quality of the RNG, you could just inject data from /dev/urandom into your entropy-pool: rngd -r /dev/urandom If you need a cheap, good solution: http://robseward.com/misc/RNG2/ In case your server isn't locked away in a datacenter, you might also want to try video/audio entropy sources, http://www.vanheusden.com/ved/ http://www.vanheusden.com/aed/ hth, cheers, -- Infineon Technologies IT-Services GmbH martin.schust...@infineon.com Lakeside B05, 9020 Klagenfurt, Austria Martin Schuster FB: LG Klagenfurt, FN 246787y +43 5 1777 3517
