- Edit the PRNGD configuration file ${PKG_SYSCONFDIR}/prngd.conf
|
||
|
|
(see ${PREFIX}/share/doc/prngd). An example conf file was installed in
|
||
|
|
${PREFIX}/share/examples/prngd/prngd.conf.netbsd.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
-- Regarding entropy gathering commands in prngd.conf:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The "rate" represents the number of bits of usuable entropy per byte of
|
||
|
|
command output. Adjust the rates as you see fit, but be conservative.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Depending on the usage of your system, some commands may not produce
|
||
|
|
output that varies significantly over time. Keep in mind the usage of
|
||
|
|
such commands will not produce considerably random data. Use commands
|
||
|
|
whose output will gather decent entropy.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
- Add this example to /etc/rc.local for PRNGD to start on system boot:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
echo ''
|
||
|
|
echo 'Starting PRNGD.'
|
||
|
|
if [ -f /usr/pkg/bin/prngd ]; then
|
||
|
|
/usr/pkg/bin/prngd /var/run/egd-pool
|
||
|
|
fi
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
- Browse the manual, docs, and the PRNGD home page for more information.
