Hello.
I was just digging around in the net and found the thread
http://lkml.org/lkml/2006/5/12/103

So my questions: Are there any (good) news concerning the implementation
of /dev/random in the kernel?

I just cat /proc/sys/kernel/random/entropy_avail
and saw I have about 250 in the DomU's and 3500 on Dom0. I haven't even
started to implement encryption for the different kind of services I use
on the DomUs and I have no hw_random.

Any ideas/comments would be helpful on this matter, since I want to go
online with my PKI in the next 4 weeks.

Greetings,
Robert
