Answerung myself :-) after having read some chapters in the libgcrypt manual, I guess, in order to work with GnuPG, haveged would have to be configured in a similar way as, for instance, the egd (1). Without doing so, it would probably be ignored by GnuPG. Cheers, Stephan (1) #when compiling, by adding --enable-static-rnd=egd (to ./configure) #when using a pre-compiled version that has a different configuration, by using #a loadable extension module, adding load-extension rndegd #to the ~/.gnupg/options file, or by typing --load-extension=rndegd #on the command line while GnuPG is running
